Watch the sunrise and sunset, enjoy a gentle mist of the descent in the mountains and valleys just heaved a breath above Ocean clouds into the reason why mountain climbing is a favorite activity.
Unfortunately, many of the young boys who climbed without knowing any code of ethics, including a lover of nature, so that they are as good as dumb do with climbing, doodling trees, and rocks, Edelweiss flower brings home or making the mountain as garbage dumps.
In fact, mountain climbing is a dangerous sport, extreme activities that risked lives. But they always just ignore all the risk that, for the sake of getting photos of Rober on the mountaintop, they climb the mountain without the knowledge of survival skills, preparation of a mature, climbing random and often acted recklessly.

The intent of this simple writing is reminiscent of the actuator back to the wild, in particular for the mountaineers that climb the mountain was not around in the mall which is only working with bags of groceries and easy once went home with a State of peace.

1. Posing Whiz.

Feeling good at this already snobs often eat the victim. By feeling themselves have been very good in climbing, many novice climbers who are desperate to open a new line just to get compliments from other climbers.
It gets worse, they commit this error without the slightest navigation capabilities, never bring a GPS and topographic map, just bring a compass not, then what want reliable? Silliness?.
So they were reckless adventure ended with a stray, exhausted in the middle of the forest, the SAR team was carried or died of the cold on the mountain.
In fact, open new lines are the Act of damaging the conservation of wildlife, disrupt and damage to natural ecosystems. Basically, the climbers experienced indeed will open a new line except for the benefit of research and science.
2. Poor Management of Logistics.

The novice climbers usually think that the most appropriate food for a hike is instant noodles, why?. Because it is easy to make instant noodles and it tastes good, lots of variety of flavors provided by the manufacturer of instant noodles.
In fact, this is a great one. Imagine, if someone needs a 2,000 kcal of calories in a regular activity. Then in a climb, one that requires calories 2 fold, i.e. 4,000 Kcal. Instant noodles are difficult to digest and absorb body fluids where possible will give that much caloric intake.
As a result, the climbers that will feel fatigue, concentration, limp and not hungry could result in accidents even death in a climbing.
In fact, the calories that much would be gained from foods that contain a lot of calories, like fatty meat, Brown, honey or oatmeal.
3. Poor Packing of the goods.

Packing of goods inside the carrier is a mandatory skill possessed by the mountaineers. Because of the difficult terrain, all items must be in the carrier unless a small bottle of drinking water. The hands should be free moving to hold track pole or grasping the root if needed.
By novice climbers because of the many who consider the innate ability to pack lightly, then take a look at this climbers. The pot was hung outside the carrier, sleeping bag, hand arouses large drinks bottle making busy both hands, they do not cover coated carrier bag, clothes and sleeping bag in the carrier not coated with plastic.
When the rain falls, they drop it, all clothes and sleeping bag in the carrier will be all wet. In fact, keeping the dressing clothes and sleeping bag to keep dry is the very important thing. Sleep in wet circumstances could lead to hypothermia. Hypothermia was the most vicious scourge for the climbers, the scourge is most often eat the victim.
Don't ever ignore the knowledge of packing of goods, since it is very influential on your salvation in climbing.
4. Go In Large Groups.

An awful lot of people who assume that in a climb, the more people it will be safer, parents more easily assign permissions.
This assumption wrong, why?. Groups of large risk more precisely, troublesome and increasingly difficult setup logistics management.
We take only the example of the case of the death of a sister of Shizuko Rizmadhani in Mt.Gede (Indonesia). He went climbing with friends nature lovers in his school, there are 27 in number, the number of people who are very much climbing to do.
Just imagine, how the amount of the required field stove to cook food that was allocated, 27 people? how many first aid supplies for 27 people?, who became Chairman?, is there sufficient authoritative person that could really set the 27 people?. Then where the 26 others when Shizuko Rizmadhani suffered hypothermia?.
A problem that often arises when we go on a hike in the number of people is often the emergence of internal conflicts, a diversified members desire and attitude of intolerance is one of the triggers why to climb in groups of greater harm.
The ideal ascent it consists of 4 to 6 people. Choose one to be the Chairman, not because he's the oldest, but because he has the soul of a leader, authoritative and reliable.
5. Consider Hypothermia Is possessed by the devil.

Passion and desperate is not stock either to do a climb, do not believe in the senior who said that climbing just need a blaze of passion and armed with a desperate measure. It is possible that both could ride you to reach the Summit of the mountain, but not necessarily be able to take you back home safely.
Lots of new climbers who go climbing with only armed with passion and desperate, without knowing the knowledge of hypothermia, so much happens the climbers are misguided on victims of hypothermia.
In General, victims of hypothermia may experience hallucinations and loss of consciousness, so that the victim will talk to digress. As the person who possessed victims hard pressed to communicate well.
Then the climber does not know a matter of hypothermia would have thought that a friend of his demon possession and recited a prayer-prayer to ward off the demons that are thought to be included in the body of the victims of hypothermia. So that victim of hypothermia are getting worse because it is not instantly get help, he lost the heat on his body and died. Perhaps this is also happening at Shizuko Rizmadhani.
Supposedly, immediately do help to victims in this condition.
6. I'm The Fastest.

The novice climbers, especially when young, synonymous with fast motion, rushing toward the Summit, the climb made the race, who is the most powerful and fastest embarrassment in the back for fear of being considered the weakest.
Mileage to be more briefly. However, a new problem appeared when down the Summit, some exertion, the ankle injury, accidents due to fatigue, loss of direction, aka stray.
A great climber it is in charge of being the sweeper in groups, task groups, is sweeping the sweeper ensures that its members there is nothing left behind and Miss, usually on duty into a sweeper are the most powerful and reliable.
But in groups of beginners climbers, no one wants to bear this task, that is, fear is the most back, felt despised when the task is the back and sweeper. Because I am the fastest, fast to the top so that I'm not aware of leaving my exhaustion and died on the mountain.
