Why do we need extra energy on the mountains?

We got vitamin C, iron tablets and hot chocolate milk with our breakfast. It gives extra energy. These were given for strength and to keep us warm in the cold.

Then tied a rope around the waist and put a sling (type of hook) in it. Then put the sling on the thick rope tied across the river. Walking through the icy water, go to the other side
