Solution
Mountaineers and trekkers face various dangers, both from nature and human factors. Natural risks include bad weather, avalanches, falling rocks and ice, high altitudes, and encounters with animals. Man-made risks involve lack of fitness, over-exertion, accidents, bad equipment, poor route planning, lack of teamwork, and insufficient food. Climbers need to be well-prepared and work together to stay safe during their adventurous expeditions.
