I agree with viharnik!
You get injured (fall or slip) always alone. Even if there are 100 around, the injury isn't any less (if you get killed, company can't help anyway). Let's say first aid and possible calling for help are a bit easier if others are around you, but that's key only where there is no GSM signal or if you're badly injured, which isn't so common; if you are, it's often fatal already alone on site. Lp!

Not that I've always been an advocate to go alone in mountains, but now I do it too. Usually when I plan to go I tell someone; if no company then I go alone. Otherwise you stay home all the time and evening watch on this forum where others were.

otherwise I really like to hike in mountains if I know the paths. For technically demanding tours it's good to have someone who is an experienced mountaineer.

The only necessary thing if you hike alone is just that: that you are EXPERIENCED mountaineer...

Sure, but where to draw the line who is experienced and who not?

In my opinion experienced mountaineer is the one who handles 99% situations he gets into.
Experience = knowledge x experiences
That one percent falls on the unforeseen .

Yes, in mountains similar as in life. If you can't stand yourself, then even in pair it doesn't work...

I wouldn't describe myself as even remotely experienced. So for now solo in the mountains still doesn't come into consideration. I have plenty of stamina and huge will and joy, but it's hard to find like-minded people with lots of time and joy. But how else to get experience than by going as much as possible with more experienced ones,

Well, everyone does it their own way ... but isn't it nice to go to the mountains with a partner, no, or girlfriend. ... and that little tease at you.
Regards!

jprim that holds true, everyone has their reasons and it's good that we're different. Well, I also go to the mountains with company, but it's better to go alone. You experience everything somehow differently

Of course there's quite a big difference between hiking in company and hiking as a lone rider. Let me describe just one vivid example. I think it was last year on the ridge under Baba above Jenkova planina above Jezersko. On the descent I meet a friendly lady. "Do I have to go over here?", she asks me on the exposed part where it's good to have some balance. "Yep, I reply, no other way." And she back: "You know, I'm an experienced mountaineer, I hike a lot with alpine clubs!" Fine, I think, interesting logic ... "Well, then over!" - and to help I jump over once more, but she ... As I sped on later, she turned back. Before parting I whispered to her that if it doesn't work there, it's incomparably more demanding under the summit.
But people are different. And that's right. Someone only to the mountains with company, another alone. No need for a doctorate. Reasons for one or the other can be a small sea. I also notice, oh yes, more and more girls hiking without partners.

I tackle pathless terrain and approach explorations alone. That's how I got used to it (when an older colleague stopped due to health issues, hiking on demanding pathless routes). Senses are more alert and I don't think about possible injuries. Sometimes I decide on a route only during the drive. In that case, I send my wife an SMS (name of the mountain I'll visit) in case something happens to me.
But I also happily go with someone or take someone along. For pathless routes (when going first time), I don't invite anyone.
