Briefing is required for trekking and climbing in himalayas. In my last 15 years of experience in himalayas- I have seen that people land up in trouble just being over confident or wrong information.
Briefing is also required for trekking teams which are going to high altitude. A leader and a good agency/company should see that members are not having any serious health issues andif they are having high blood pressure/heart disease/kidney issues...these should be taken care while in mountains as rescue system in Indian himalayas is not as PRO as seen in other countries and even if we take out a trekker/climber from mountain...still good medical support is miles away from main cities of himalayas.
