Mountain climbers should post a bond before leaving. If they get back safely, they get their money. If a rescue team is needed, their money is used.
You said -- "Mountain climbers should post a bond before leaving. If they get back safely, they get their money. If a rescue team is needed, their money is used."
If you did that for Mt. Hood, you would have half the state of Oregon screaming bloody murder. People would come out of the woodwork to oppose that. I doubt if you could get a $25 bond for climbing Mt. Hood.
