Risks of Alpine Hiking on Protected Climbing Routes
Šupka, Matěj ; Baláš, Jiří (advisor) ; Brtník, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Risks of Alpine Hiking on Protected Climbing Routes Aims: The aim of this thesis was to assess the risk factors of alpine hiking on protected climbing routes based on a current literature review. Methods: The primary sources were articles from the Web of Science and EBSCO databases. Results and conclusions: The total accident rate on protected climbing routes in Austria amounted to 1684 cases from 2008 to 2018. It was found that great progress has been made in terms of equipment and safety on protected climbing routes together with technical advancements in gear. The current equipment represents groundbreaking technology that significantly reduces the occurrence of serious injuries during this activity. However, when using fall absorbers, younger and lighter climbers are still at a higher risk of injury. Keywords: Via ferrata, alpine hiking, klettersteig, equipment, safety, trekking

Žegklitz, Martin ; Mojžíš, Otakar (advisor) ; Přibyl, Ivan (referee)
The topic of this study is an equipment used in unkempt terrain of winter mountains. The study is of a purely descriptive nature. It describes the whole scale of equipment used for skialpinism, freeride, backcountry, telemark and trekking. Its content is divided into several chapters according to purpose and utilization of a single types of this equipment. First part describes an equipment for the moving in winter terrain itself, second part deals with an equipment connected with a security and rescue operations. Third part is devoted to backpacks. Following chapter describes an outdoor wearing, next one is focused on an equipment needed for spending the nights in winter nature. A separate chapter then describes other supplementary equipment and finally the last part is devoted to the description and characteristics of an equipment for mountain climbing. Each chapter mentions a concrete examples of an equipment available today.
