What does ABC camp mean when climbing?

Category: Sports/Sports

Problem description:

I often see mountaineering campsites called ABC campsites. Some people say it is the highest campground that can be used as a base camp. It's called ABC. Some say that the camp set up when preparing to climb is called ABC camp.

What exactly does this ABC camp mean? What’s the origin?

Analysis:

ABC camp is the forward camp, which is the English abbreviation of the forward camp.
