Good climbers are aware of the dangers that will confront the dangers of the activity is termed objective and subjective hazards . Objective danger is the danger that comes from the properties of nature itself . For example, the mountain has a much cooler air temperature plus the freezing winds , rain without shelter, the steepness of the surface which can cause people to slip once the fall risk , rocks, and dense dark night . Hazardous properties can not be altered humans .
However, often times considered a beginner climbers up the mountain as usual recreation . Especially popular for the mountains and easy to climb , such as Gede , Pangrango or Salak . As a result , they neglect the physical preparation and climbing equipment . Not uncommon among their bodies covered with only a T-shirt with the stock or water biscuits perfunctory .
Although it can not be changed , the actual climbers can reduce its negative impact . For example, by bringing warm clothes and thick jackets to protect themselves from the cold . Bring a tent to protect themselves from the rain when camping , bring a flashlight , and so on .
While the advent of subjective danger of oneself , ie how ready he can climb a mountain . Is he fit enough , strong enough , adequate knowledge of the map compass ( because there are no traffic signs on the mountain ) , and so on .
As an illustration , the National SAR Agency record that from January 1998 to April 2001, there were 47 victims of climbing a mountain in Indonesia, which consists of 10 people died , 8 people missing , 29 people survived , two people were seriously injured and slightly injured one person , of the entire recorded ascent ( National SAR Agency , 2001) .
Other data , from 1969 to 2001 , and Pangrango mountain Gede in West Java has killed over 34 people . Furthermore , of the 4,000 people who tried to climb Everest as the highest peak in the world , only 400 people who managed to reach the summit and about 100 people died . Average climbing accident that occurred at 8000 m has been recorded under as much as 25 % in each period climbing .
Indeed , mountain climbing has an element of adventure . Adventure is as a form of thought which began with a feeling of uncertainty about the outcome of the trip and always end up feeling satisfied because the success of the trip . The feeling that comes when venturing is fear of facing danger physically or psychologically . Without fear then there is no adventure because there is no challenge too .
As stated in the Kompas daily data , recorded from 50 people who have something bad happens in climbing Mount Semeru , Central Java , 24 people were confirmed dead , two missing , 10 people were injured , and four people survived .
The number of accidents and obstacles that are often experienced by people who climb mountains , do not make the climbers stopped to climb . Recent data states that in July 2002 was carried out by ten mountaineers climb from Bandung to Mt Slamet . Climbing the lead ten mountaineers are missing so assigned as many as 24 members of the Police SAR team combined Purbalingga and nature lovers from Purwokerto deployed to the location to look for the mountain climbers . Even the latest in the case of an accident on the mountain that is the loss of 3 students at Mount Batur Bali Bandung in late 2007 .
The risk of high mountain climbing , does not preclude the climbers to keep continue with the climb , because Zuckerma stated that the mountaineers had a tendency sensation seeking [ hunting sensation ] high . The sensation seeker consider and accept the risk as the value or price of something that is obtained from the sensation or experience itself . The experiences are pleasant or unpleasant the form of self - esteem [ pride / confidence ] .
These experiences lead to further feelings of individuals about themselves , feeling both positive and negative feelings . Climbing trip undertaken by the climbers produce experience , namely the experience of success and successful hiking , mountain climbing or failure . Success which is a contributory factor high and low self-esteem , are part of the experience of hikers in mountain climbing .
The phenomenon that occurs is whether climbing a mountain to the climber is sensation seeking to improve their self - esteem ? Furthermore , sensation seeking possibilities for mountain climbers have a relationship with the self -esteem of the climbers . Due to the experiences of the climbers in climbing can be a success or failure .
