Why are mountain men important?

Not all mountains are famous. In fact, many of them are only known by the locals in the city or state or country where they are located. Some mountains are famous because they are in a historically important part of the world (such as the Middle East; a mountain that people believe was mentioned in The Bible would certainly attract tourists); others are important because they are very high and very dangerous, like Mount Everest-- these kinds of mountains attract climbers who enjoy a challenge and want to try to scale their heights. And of course, some mountains are famous because they are known all over the world as Excellent places to go skiing.
