I know, and have even taught, that driving to the mountain was more dangerous than climbing. But in many years of practicing and teaching mountaineering that has not been the case. I have been involved in a few serious accidents on the mountain and know of no traffic accidents on the way to the trailhead. I know what you said is oft repeated, I wonder where it came from. It would not be too hard to look at the national accident data and come up with the real facts.
