    We provide a nonparametric proof of the Lyusternik-Schnirelman theorem. This proof avoids the technical complications of the other known proofs which arise from working with parametrized curves which amounts to lifting to a bundle with a nonfree O(2) action. Our arguments use only elementary geometric constructions and the Besicovitch covering lemma.
