Summary/Abstract: The author discusses the problem of the ethical dimension of risk that accompanies most of sports disciplines. Their practicing only exceptionally creates serious moral problems. As a rule, they become a means for human physical and spiritual health. Practicing extreme sports and high-risk sports can serve the spiritual and moral development of man. However, it must meet the requirements of general and specialist security and must be accompanied by readiness to resign from further climbing, when the real threat exceeds the prudently assessed climber's capabilities.
