The purpose of this study was to identify the psychological benefits and spiritual well-being experiences of mountaineering enthusiasts using phenomenological analysis methods. Participants in the study selected a total of eight participants who had more than eight years of hiking experience and played the role of a hiking leader or management team by snowball sampling. Data were collected through participatory observation and in-depth interviews, and the contents obtained were coded and systematically analyzed. The results of this study were as follows. First, resilience, leisure identity, perceived freedom, negative stress reduction, and fun were found in the psychological benefits of mountaineering enthusiasts. Second, among the spiritual well-being factors of mountain climbing, hope, disease relief, wonder, sense of unity, human weakness, and faith appeared. Participants in this study played a heavy role in the hiking club, and as a hiking leader or management team, an appearance for a community different from general hiking activities was added.
