Faktor Mensch

Welchen Einfluss hat der diffuse „Faktor Mensch“ auf das Unfallgeschehen in den Bergen?

Human Factor and decision making, the next steps?

We offer practical insights and ‘training tools' for systematically better decision making in high risk mountain environments. In the first part of this article we will introduce tools that help us better understand what is going on below the surface of individual and group decision making. In the second part of this article we will introduce a 5 step decision making protocol. This tool can be used to better deal with mental and social traps while making decisions in the high risk, high uncertainty mountain environment.

Faktor Mensch Bergsteigen

Interview with Max Berger

In recent years, the articles that Max Berger has written for ‘bergundsteigen’ have polarised opinions. The mountain guide and Country Manager for Petzl Austria has garnered recognition over the decades both for his alpine pursuits – a project of his was nominated for a Piolet d’Or this year – as well as for his wide-ranging expertise and straight-talking attitude. This year, for the first time, he guided clients on two eight-thousand-metre peaks, so we wanted to ask him how he got on in the Karakoram.
