Do these guys have to pay for rescue? They should.
I agree. If you want to take chances,fine,but don't expect someone else to risk their lives to save you unless you are willing to pay for it.
I agree. Maybe accomplished by a fee for all the climbers to pay when they get a climbing permit.
Otherwise, the money might be really hard to collect. It would be really hard to ask last month's widow to pay for the rescue attempt on her dead husband.
Hey, if you were in a car wreck would you have to pay for the paramedic that saved your life?
Oh, yeah, I guess you would...
