1.Risk avoidance. Operators employ this strategy when there are poor in country arrangements, socio-political at the destination, or objective mountaineering dangers. The latter hazards are specific mountain environments and are usually beyond a person's control. As example of this can be scen in one of the operator's trips to Naya Kanga, where the higher than normal temperatures and lack of snow cover led to an increased objective danger of stone fall to a level that was deemec unacceptable. Risk avoidance can also be achieved through offering a triy in an alternative format. For example, one operator offers a trip to that Karakorum region of Pakistan, vusiting the site of the K2 base camp and crossing the high pass of the Gondor La., while most companies offer that trek by ascending the Baltoro Glacier and then crossing the pass and dropping into the Huche Valley. The first operator gone the other way round due to the risk of stone fall in the pass. Ascending from the Huche Valley increases the chances of getting over the pass early in the morning whit the rocks on the surrounding slopes are still frozen in place, thus reducion the objective danger.
