objective mountaineering dangers. the latter hazards are specific mountain environments and are usually beyond aperson's control.example of this can be seen in one of the operator's trips to naya kangl where the higher than normal temperatures and lack of snow cover led an increased objective danger of stone fall to a level of that was deemed unacceptable. risk avoidance can also be achieved through offering a try in as alterneative format. for example, one operator offers a trips a trip to karakorum region of pakistan, visiting the site of the k2 base camp and crossing the high pass of the gondor la, while most companies offer this dropping into the huche valley. the firts operator goes the other way round due to the risk of stone fall in the pass early in the huche valley increases the chances of getting over the pass early in the morning white the rocks on the rocks on the surrounding slopes are still frozen in place,thus reducing the objective danger.
