The Risks on Mountain Climbing
SATURDAY, 28 JULY 2007
Can stupidity be one of the causes of the growing rate of mountain deaths today?
According to Captain Stephane Boston, stupidity could be one of the possible reasons why climbers tripped down to their deaths when ascending a mountain. “They had nothing with them. The sort of clothing you might put on for a summer rain storm. We see this every year,” added Captain Boston.
In the reports presented by the rescue teams of the French and Italian sides of Mont Blanc, it was found out that every summer, rescuers have to deal with over 800 calls a day as thousands of climbers swam over 4,808 meter mountain. One officer from the Gendarmerie de Haute Montagne said that Europe’s highest mountain claims up to a dozen lives every year.
"They were focused on this mythical climb and did not take into consideration the weather reports,” added Capt. Boston. “Their responsibility is total. They were not dressed appropriately for this altitude. They died from a combination of lack of experience, cold, exhaustion and the altitude."
The deaths brought the number of mountaineering deaths to seven in the last four days. Two more climbers died elsewhere in the Alps and a British mountaineer was killed in Greenland on Wednesday. Chris Polden, 30, from Greater Manchester, died when he was caught in an avalanche while taking part in a charity climb.
Experts said the growth in popularity of outdoor pursuits, in which enthusiasts often spend large sums on a holiday to reach a peak, had led people to believe that they could complete a difficult climb without the necessary experience.
