Climbing information site YAMAKEI ONLINE "Learning from failure" shows a certain method of climbing from the actual examples of climbers

Planning and preparation are important to enjoy the mountains

For a while, a dialogue of foreign climbers living in Japan was published in the monthly magazine "Mountain and Valley".The impression of the Japanese climber that was told there is

That was something.

For those who have lived in a country that values freedom, the behavior of our Japanese climbers seems to be stiff.But I was wondering about the idea of that freedom.Enjoy the mountains without being bound by the plan and do not worry about time ... Is it really possible to climb?

The subtitle of the Yamakei Shinsho, "Learning from Failure," introduced here is "The key to prevent trouble is in planning and preparation."The content is divided into two chapters, and Chapter 1 has four failures due to the selection of courses, schedules, lack of preliminary research, and lack of preparation as "points of planning and preparation from failure patterns".It is introduced.Chapter 2 explains in detail how to plan and prepare for mountain climbing as "flow from mountain selection to departure".

I don't want to fail anymore!What came into view of various failures from the patterns of mountain climbing are "problematic plans" and "lack of preparation".A commentary on "planning and preparation" for all climbers who do not want to fail.

Failure examples include cases where trivial carelessness and small omissions lead to troubled situations.In some cases, a small accident causes the next accident, like a story, and the situation is getting worse.If you have little climbing experience, is there really something like this?You may feel that.

But if you have been climbing for a long time, isn't it just convinced that "there is!"In the past, the plan for departure at a late time has deducted, and the final Shimoyama has been at 22:00.I went to the mountains without confirming that the bus was a suspended day, and I had to walk on the road after descending as much as 10 km, so I was prepared to forget it, and I was at a loss at the trailhead.There are several times.Such a stupid!Anyone who is experienced in this kind of thing will have experienced this kind of thing.

Later, looking back on the fact that they were in trouble and reflecting on them, most of them were caused by rough planning, lack of preparation, and local thoughts that were out of the plan.。

On the other hand, there is not much memory of planning, preparing thorough preparations, and moving while being careful not to deviate from the plan during the action.If you are used to the mountains, you will have the key point for your own planning and process management, and you will have the know -how to prevent trouble.The actual situation of climbing is to always confirm the situation, manage the process, judge and exit, etc. during the action, and enjoy a limited freedom while continuing to worry about time.

As mentioned in the talks introduced above, how to climb it may look stiff.However, climbing that is not tied to the plan and does not care about time, it seems that it is not a place to enjoy the mountain very much one after another.

Know the danger of the climbers themselves and prevent trouble

The first step to enjoy climbing safely is to know what is dangerous.In general, mountain terrain and weather are often taken up, but in fact, the carelessness of climbers and small omissions in this book often attract danger.

Therefore, those who are starting to climb in the future, those who have started climbing but have not been scared yet, should first read the first chapter of this book.Just knowing the dangerous behavior patterns described here has a good effect to prevent similar situations.

On top of that, if you practice planning, scheduling, and preparation in Chapter 2, you will be able to avoid a lot of problems in the mountains.

By the way, in the case introduced in this book, the final result remains a light accident.This is a case at the "Hiyari Hat" level at construction sites.However, the actual ending is not necessarily the only Hiyari hat.Furthermore, it is possible that the situation deteriorates, causing more serious injuries, and wandering around the mountains because it is impossible to descend.Of course, there is a possibility that you will lose your life.There is a method of aiming to improve your level while repeating your own mistakes, but it is important to learn from your predecessors and avoid similar failures as much as possible.

By the way, my current profession, who once repeated failures, is a mountain climbing guide.It is not allowed that the climbing guide will be in trouble during action.He believes that what is important to avoid troubles is to do everything you can before mountain climbing.Therefore, he creates his own checklist and repeats the check so that it seems frustrating when planning or preparing.As a result, there is no need to be in trouble during action unless you encounter a rare scene.

The idea that this book proposes, "The key to prevent trouble is in planning and preparation" is exactly my real feeling.
