Mountain safety protocols

Mountain safety protocols involve careful planning, awareness, and preparation to prevent accidents. Always check weather forecasts, dress in layers, and carry essential gear like maps, navigation tools, food, water, and a first aid kit. Inform someone about your route and expected return time. Stay on marked trails, avoid risky slopes or unstable terrain, and be mindful of altitude sickness. Recognize your limits and turn back if conditions worsen. Keep communication devices charged, and consider traveling with a group. Respect the environment, adhere to local regulations, and be prepared to adapt your plans for safety.
