Photography in mountains: I end up putting my camera in my backpack for the whole trip!?

I travel to lots of valleys and waterfalls and I am really interested in landscape photography but I always end up taking no pictures at all for one of the following reasons:

- Can't keep my balance while climbing stones & holding a camera in my hand
- I fear that water splashes on my camera body (Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5)

I just don't want to end up with a few "group photos" from beginning and end of the trip. is there a solution to my problem?
