Interesting that you mention "Accidents in North American Mountaineering". This is the climbing equivalent of the Startup Post-Mortems story that was posted the other day. They publish them every year and they're a great read. Like startup failures, they tend to cluster around a few common mistakes--typically failure to anticipate weather conditions and overconfidence in one's abilities. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy climbing and mountaineering.
