"Mountain climbing" is a generic term. It doesn't refer to a specific activity. I've climbed plenty of mountains. Half of them were a nice, leisurely 1-3 hour hike requiring nothing more than a free afternoon, a water bottle and a day pack with a couple snacks.

I'm kind of confused by the responses here. Idk if you guys just need to go outside more, or maybe I'm just spoiled, as at least half of the cities and towns where I'm at have at least one local peak. A lot of them are glorified hills with a good view. Many of them don't even have a view, but it's still fun to go up, be in nature, and see the different habitats, zones, and natural features as you go up. This is a casual activity for a great number of people. Some mountains even have actual paved roads/paths that gently take you up, but I prefer trails, unless I'm on my bike.

"Mountain climbing" doesn't have to equate to Everest/K2/etc. There are a vast number of levels to it. There are still dangers to what I do at my preferred level, but the life-threatening stuff typically only happens on much bigger mountains.
