Why we make bad decisions in the mountains (and how to avoid the worst)

In the mountains, accidents aren’t caused only by snow or weather. They are very often linked to our human decisions.
In this third video, Dominique Perret dives into the invisible factors of risk:
- the mind, fatigue, ego, and group pressure
- physical and psychological energy
- the real role of equipment, medicine, and preparation
- the influence of weather, topography, and snow conditions
- and the importance of a global reading of the terrain
A dense and fascinating episode that helps us understand why human error is often the number one factor in mountain accidents, and how we can learn to make better decisions.
