The purpose of this study was to explore the subjective nature of the relationship between the perceptions of risk and benefit of climbers on Mt. Whitney. Based on its utility to examine human subjectivity, Q methodology was utilized to capturing the unique viewpoints of participants regarding their perceptions of the risks and benefits associated with climbing Mt. Whitney. Using theoretical and opportunistic sampling procedures based on previous experience and route selection 48 participants were asked to sort 44 statements based upon their Mt. Whitney experience and take part in a post-sort, semi-structured interview. The Q sort process captured the participant's point of view in the form of a quasi-normal distribution. Each Q sort was correlated with every other Q sort. The correlation showed to what extent each participant's Q sort was similar or different to every other participant. Four factors were generated using principle components analysis. Model factor arrays and distinguishing statements were generated for each of the four factors: Mountain Benefits, Personal Apprehension, Physical Apprehension, and Social Apprehension. Risks and benefits are very subjective in nature. Risk is inherent in climbing and the climbers were willing to accept that risk. What is perceived as a risk by one climber was not perceived as risk by another. Experience is one aspect that greatly influenced perceptions of risks and benefits. Experience and route selection were two of the noticeable demographic variables used to interpret and define the reported risk and apprehension of Factors Two, Three, and Four. Climbers that had more experience reported minimal apprehensions and fears about their Mt. Whitney experience. These climbers frequently had chosen more technically challenging routes in an effort to regain equilibrium between what they had perceived as the risks associated with climbing Mt. Whitney and their expected benefits. Although experience and route selection were beneficial in determining the risk and apprehension factors, the general overall feelings of benefit were expressed by an overwhelming majority of climbers. Regardless of experience or route based upon Factor One, climbers reported that there were several significant "Mountain Benefits" associated with their Mt. Whitney experience.
