Know the Facts
Most mountaineering accidents occur in the rugged mountainous states of WA, CA, WY, CO, and AK. A likely reason why these states have the most mountain accidents is that they not only have the greatest area of climbable terrain, but they also have a high number of “trophy” peaks, which attract an outsized proportion of non-locals who are often overly eager to get to the summit.

58% of climbing accidents were from roped climbing. 42% were from unroped climbing. 12% of the accidents were involved in a belaying incident and 4.5% were from a rockfall incident. Source
In 2013, the year most recently surveyed, Accidents in North American Mountaineering reported 143 climbing accidents in the United States (Accidents covers technical rock, ice, and mountaineering incidents. Hiking and other general outdoor mishaps are not covered.) Source
