To better understand the hazards that accompany rock climbing, you need to make a distinction between naturally occurring (objective) dangers and human-initiated (subjective) dangers. Objective dangers refer to naturally occurring phenomena that can be present in any natural environment. Such natural events and conditions occur regularly, without human initiation, and they only become risks when humans are present.

Objective dangers in a rock climbing setting can include falling rock, rain, sun, extreme temperatures, lightning, and, of course, gravity. The possibility and number of objective dangers generally increase as the remoteness of the climbing area increases.
Objective dangers are a constant in rock climbing. To be removed from these dangers entirely, you will need to climb in a gym or not climb at all. However, it is possible to mitigate the risk of objective dangers you may encounter while rock climbing.
Having knowledge of weather patterns, using caution when climbing on new terrain, testing holds, and being familiar with the topics covered in this book are all positive steps toward reducing the risk that objective dangers pose. Obtaining first aid training is another step you can take to increase your chances (and those of your climbing partners) of surviving an encounter with objective dangers.

Because you have more control over yourself than over the natural environment, addressing any subjective dangers you may exhibit is one of the best ways to promote safety while rock climbing. Several psychological influences affect a person’s propensities for certain subjective dangers. Perhaps the most obvious psychological factor that affects climbing safety is fear.
Excessive fear can paralyze your motion and conjure thoughts that destroy your confidence to move up the rock or perform necessary actions (such as tying knots or clipping the rope to carabiners). Of course, when realistic and controlled, fear is healthy and important because it reminds you of the consequences of mistakes. The trick is to be able to assess and distinguish actual risks from falsely perceived risks.
Such realistic assessments of risk will enable you to have confidence in your physical abilities, your climbing systems, and your climbing equipment, which allow you to avoid actual risks.
