Hazards and risks
Like most of activities, training in the nature has its risks. Dangers in the mountains can be subjective and objective.
Subjective risks are those formed by human activities and are mainly a result of poor judgment or inappropriate behavior. Inappropriate behavior is due to ignorance, inexperience or lack of required skills (bad choice of procedures in the mountains, lack of food, water, clothing and equipment), and with poor assessment you risk over-exertion, dehydration etc.). These dangers are predictable and can be entirely avoided. So before you go on tour, you should evaluate psychophysical capabilities and equipment of group members.
Objective dangers are not dependent on the human factor . Here are some of them: weather conditions (rain, blizzards, hail, hurricane, fog), sunlight (sunstroke, dehydration), difficult and demanding terrain (talus, snow, slush, mud), falling rocks, wild animals atack, etc.
Hiring a professional mountain leader greatly reduce the risk of injuries caused by subjective circumstances and their experience and skills are the key in decision-making process.
