Abstract: Over the last twenty years, the Naturalistic Decision Making (NDM) perspective has received an increased interest in the literature. This approach aims to provide a better understanding of how experts make decisions which had to be efficient, fast and safe, while external conditions are hostile, changing, and possibly involving vital issues. Although the NDM perspective is grounded on a variety of field studies, it was never considered how mountaineering professionals, usually dealing with particularly hostile and unexpected situations, could be studied as experts coping with them. This paper offers a new insight into how the NDM perspective could illuminate decision making process of these professionals in action. It also highlights the need to develop in vivo research and raises the associated empirical and methodological challenges.
