Mountaineering is not a safe sport. Even though it is done for leisure purpose, it’s not safe at all. Being at high altitudes can bring several health concerns. These include Acute Mountain Sickness, Hypothermia etc. Proper safety measures and knowledge of equipments can make it fun sports. You need to be knowledgeable about it either by asking to an experienced climber or following any mountain guide
