The social construction of gender identity amongst mountaineers

Abstract

The article provides information concerning empirical research named “Report on mountaineering in Spain: an approximation from the perspective of gender”, conducted with public funds provided by the Secretary General of Education at the Ministry of Science and Education. The objective of this paper is to detail the obtained outcomes using a qualitative methodology. The results reveal the persistence of a gender identity, which is by nature very sexist (chauvinistic) between mountaineers in Spain. Also, it demonstrates how this gender identity determines the opportunities people have to partake in mountaineering, such as making a career out of this sport and the conduct between mountaineers, which is dependent on one’s gender.
