Risks of Climbing/Mountaineering

Rock climbing, ice climbing and mountaineering are activities that involve inherent risks. Without these risks, the nature of the activity would not be the same. At Mountain Sense, LLC, we feel that is our responsibility to be teaching you about these risks. We want to help you learn how to identify, assess and manage the risks associated with climbing or mountaineering. Whether trying to evaluate protection systems, the difficulty of a particular route, the day’s weather forecast or the time required to successfully complete your day, we’ll be teaching you the skills necessary to move efficiently and have a rewarding day on the rock, ice or mountains.
