What is the problem you're trying to solve? edit
Mountains are remote and difficult to approach. It is not very easy for a Wikipedians without any proper training to reach the mountains to photograph the remotest places. Tough terrains like stiff rocks, scree, sharp ridges, crevasses, avalanche-prone areas make these places one of the least accessible area of this planets.
What is your solution? edit
Wikipedia Treks Mountains is the idea to bring together professional or amateur mountaineers, rock climbers and trekkers, having basic training in these adventure sports, to venture into the mountains with proper mountain equipments and collect photographic and other data to increase the content in Wikimedia. Openstreetmap developers can also be involved in these project to improve the maps of these area.
