Is climbing outdoors safe?
As our acknowledgment of risk forms and every book on the topic will tell you, climbing has inherent dangers; it is an adventure sport. Statistically in our records, however, more people injure themselves hiking to and from the climbs than while roped in technical terrain, and most of those injuries are sprains and strains. One of our main goals as a guide service is to help make climbing and mountaineering safer. We hire guides who are experts in risk management skills, and they employ these skills while climbing with you.
