Focusing on the environmental impact of mountaineering, the book categorizes consequences into three groups: the effects of climbers' presence, their movement through diverse terrains, and the influence of mountaineering equipment. Each category is analyzed for both direct and indirect environmental interference, including auxiliary activities like guiding and equipment transport. The study highlights the interconnectedness of ecological components, emphasizing that preserving each element is essential for mitigating negative impacts. It offers thorough research findings and encourages further exploration of this crucial topic.
