The information contained here is a compilation from many different sources. Accuracy of any of this information cannot be assured, as it is subject to change over time. Also, descriptions of difficulty, danger, time requirements and necessary equipment are always subjective and depend on the physical characteristics, experience, technical ability, confidence, and physical fitness of the individual who supplied the description. Therefore, be warned that you must exercise your own judgment on their difficulty and your ability to safely protect yourself from risk. You MUST be willing to PERSONALLY ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY associated with these risks.
While rescue and the means to communicate your distress to others may be available, you must be willing to follow a philosophy of self-reliance and self-sufficiency even in emergency situations. Rescue, quite simply, may not be possible because of remote locations and/or weather conditions. Finally, rescue operations place the lives of others in danger and is excessively expensive.
Your safety depends on your own good judgment, based on
the experience and a realistic assessment of your ability. If you have
any doubt as to your ability, do not attempt it. To make your experience
safer, you are advised to consult with other sources about the difficulty
and danger prior to attempting it, and engage an instructor or guide to
learn safety techniques.
