Well, it can be if one doesn't undergo the Basic Mountaineering Course. BMC is necessary in order to know the do's and don'ts of a mountaineer as well as the climber's responsibility. First aid, orienteering and ropemanship are also covered in BMC. One can also take survival trainings if wanted.
Most of the climbers nowadays, especially in the Philippine are Facebook mountaineers. They're the climbers who hike just for the pictures. Their main goal is to post awesome photos in FB when it should be just one of the rewards in hiking.
