It is assumed that the skier has already followed the principles of leadership, preparation, timing, and choice of route laid down in a preceding chapter, has thus been able to reach the base of a high mountain, and that he is now wondering what to do next. He may very well wonder what got into him to bring him to such a state of affairs; but that question cannot be answered here, and indeed has not been answered adequately in all mountaineering literature. Mountain Structure Description of each major type of high-mountain structure and its relation to objective danger will assist the skier's search for a route that will best lead him past a mountain, or to its summit. |
