In this course we will take a closer look at the real risks in rock climbing and mountaineering. We’ll point out and discuss ways to identify those risks as well as some common strategies for managing those risks. We’ll point to some of the most common inconsistencies in those strategies—moments where our human weaknesses are revealed. Finally, we’ll propose strategies for analysis and self-reflection.
This event will take place in the Mendota Lodge in the lower level of Memorial Union.
