interconnections Explanation: I think the rendition is essentially correct, but have no idea if the word is used in mountaineering jargon to indicate the looping of certain routes. |

concatenamento enchainment/linkup Explanation: You might have to add a few words of explanation in brackets if this is written for a general readership. "Enchainment (an anglicisation of the French word enchaînement, meaning "linking") is a mountaineering term that denotes climbing two or more mountains – or routes on a mountain – in one outing (often over the course of a day). Rock climbing two or more routes in this manner is called a "link up" in the US. Climbers may do an enchainment of easy routes as a way of training for a more difficult objective, but some enchainments are a prize in their own right." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2012-10-30 17:48:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.wordreference.com/iten/concatenamento Example sentence(s):
