Frost Peaks Climb

Frost Peaks Climb provides a comprehensive guide to mountain safety, emphasizing avalanche risk mitigation through a blend of Earth Sciences, Geography, and Adventure. By understanding snow science, readers can learn about snowpack metamorphism and how processes like constructive and destructive metamorphism create weak layers, critical for assessing avalanche hazard.

Terrain analysis is also key, teaching how to identify dangerous slopes based on angle, aspect, and elevation, and how to interpret topographic maps for safer mountain ascent planning. The book uniquely addresses decision-making under pressure, recognizing that even with solid knowledge, human factors can lead to accidents. It examines cognitive biases and communication strategies to promote safer backcountry skiing and snowboarding experiences.

Progressing through chapters, Frost Peaks Climb starts with snow formation basics, then moves to terrain assessment, and culminates in decision-making strategies. It offers a practical, field-oriented approach, using case studies and data analysis to reinforce concepts and improve avalanche safety.
