One gift idea for your mountaineering friend could be topographical maps of mountains or mountain ranges she/he has climbed or aspires to climb. You could also consider getting a mountaineering-related book, like "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer or "The Mountain Guide Manual" by Marc Chauvin and Rob Coppolillo. Additionally, you could buy him/her a mountaineering gear like a high-quality headlamp, a durable backpack or trekking poles. Finally, you could also gift him/her a mountaineering trip or guided climbing experience with a reputable mountaineering company.
Or you can get her/him a star map with the date when she/he was born.
