Bill's hobbies include jogging, swimming, and to climb mountains vs Bill's hobbies include jogging, swimming, and climbing mountains

The second phrase, 'Bill's hobbies include jogging, swimming, and climbing mountains,' is correct. The verb 'climbing' should be used in its gerund form to maintain parallel structure with 'jogging' and 'swimming.' The first phrase is incorrect because 'to climb mountains' does not follow the correct structure for listing hobbies.
