Jeep Special Offers Joondalup: Who Can Take You Higher?

It wasn’t until the Romantic period of the 18th and 19th centuries that anyone even considered climbing a mountain for pleasure. Prior to that, if you had told someone you were going to climb a mountain just for the sake of it, you would have been regarded very strangely at best, and at worst, burned for being a witch (they used to love doing that back in the old days, apparently).

Mountains were not seen as objects of beauty. The idea that pleasure could be attained by busting your lungs to conquer them was simply preposterous. Mountains were mere obstacles. Annoying lumps that stood in the way of easy transport and trade routes. Or on other occasions, a useful hideout for bandits or location for defensive settlements.

Then along came Byron, Shelley and Keats and started flouncing around in frilly shirts, writing poetry about how beautiful clouds, meadows and mountains were (WARNING: This may be a generalisation). And all of a sudden, people couldn’t get enough of them. The age of mountain climbing had arrived and swiftly exploded. There was a global rush to be the first to climb all of them and plant the flag. It must have been strange for the Himalayan locals to see these ridiculously dressed (usually) Englishmen come and ask about climbing the big mountain. But climb them they did.

Since then, mountain climbing and mountain sports have been growing and growing. The romantic poets were right about their beauty. But mountains aren’t just beautiful; they are also dangerous, tough and exhilarating. And if you’re serious about climbing you need to have all the right kit. Starting with the car. A 4x4, like a Jeep Cherokee Perth will get you further up the trail than most, so you can find spots that others can’t reach. Cherokees are also incredibly spacious, just like the Dodge Journey and Chrysler Grand Voyager Perth. That means you’ll never be short of space for carrying your kit.

There’s a massive range of activities you can do in the mountains. From climbing and abseiling to trekking and biking. There is something special about being on the side of a monolithic giant that sparks something deep down inside us. It makes you wonder why no one had experienced this feeling before the Romantics pointed it out. But then again, life was tough enough as it was back then, without the need to hurl yourself off a cliff with only a rope for safety.

If you haven’t discovered your love of mountains yet, then with Jeep special offers in Joondalup, maybe it’s time you did a bit of climbing.
