Part 3/4:
Our rescue teams have observed alarming trends in tourist preparation. Many climbers arrive ill-equipped, dressed as if they were in a subtropical climate rather than the mountainous environment, where conditions can shift drastically. We have sadly encountered people arriving in tennis shoes and inadequate clothing, unaware of the stringent demands that mountain exploration entails.
To mitigate the risks associated with such outings, we strongly advise visitors to seek guidance from qualified professionals, such as Alpine guides or volcanologists. Not only do they possess invaluable knowledge about the terrain and its challenges, but they can also ensure safety for those wishing to experience the wonders of the volcanic landscape.
