Week I of the introduction provided background on mountaineering accidents that occur due to unscientific schedules and reliance on experience alone. The goal is to build a database to assist climbers in making scientific, detailed climbing schedules that consider approaches, camps, time management, equipment, and load. This will be achieved using resources like historical data, schedules, experts, and mathematical theory along with computers to generate customized schedules for individual climbers based on their information and provide feedback to modify the schedules. The schedules will then be output and sent to climbers.
