New River Gorge, West Virginia.... Upper and Middle Keaney rapids CIII/CIV

Depends on location....different techniques for different areas, there's no one answer....

In an area not affected by katabatic winds, and away from ridge lines subject to lighting strikes. Additionally, it's a good ideal to avoid release zones, and slope angles 30 degrees or greater. Consider islands of safety to avoid being buried in an avalanche during winter travel travesing slopes. Listen to the sound of snow beneath the boots...
Down climbing is more dangerous then the up, travel slow when descending, and avoid scree fields if possible.....

Depends on location, weather conditions and season.

Better have a plan B....there are places where there is no wood for fires. Or places where a signal fire is the wrong choice...

I dont disagree with you Telos, I also thought the questions were a bit to open to interpretation.

But which of the answers would be most likely given the question as its presented.

We were in the Smokies on our bikes about 5 years ago and black bear started running toward us, I immediately started toward it running and screaming with my hands back and forth and that damn thing did not know what to think. It stopped quick, snorted and then ran back in the woods. I had free beer all night long.

There is the unknown factor like if this was a mama black bear and her cubs were around I would make noise, but I wouldn't advance towards the bear.
