【The body text】
Climbing the most difficult moutains needs a very special mental condition. All of the parts of the body must work together smoothly and quietly. Each part of the body must feel what is happening in the other parts. There is no room for thinking about what time it is. There is no room for thinking about how one looks. All thinking must focus on what is happening at that moment. The mind and the body must become one.

Questions:
I have two questions about this sentence.
First, does this "room" mean "space"?
If it is correct, I think the front of the sentence means ｢〜について考える余地はない｣ in Japanese.
Second, what does mean "how one looks"?
I think "one" means "someone". And who does someone look?
I can't understand well.
Finally, I thought that this sentence means ｢人にどのように見られているか考える余地はない｣ in Japanese.
Are these correct? I am not sure.
c.Comments about.
I am interesting for moutain climbing. Well, I want to see the scene from the top of the moutain. I have heard that climbers climb moutain again to see the scene and who has seen the scene once is not able to forget it. Maybe a few people like just climbing moutains. I don't know pain and pleasure for climbing, but I felt it is so tempting.

Good work. I regard to your questions, your Japanese translation is good. That is what the sentence means.
