I have no idea what level of climbing prowess they're on - but that is one ambitious "quick climb", especially in winter. From the story: "James has the most experience — 25 years of mountaineering that includes Mount McKinley, the Andes Mountains in South America and peaks in Europe"
I hope they're OK and I hope they pay the bill.
What bill? There is no bill. Nor should there be.

Nor should there be. Rescues cost money. If you don't live in or pay property taxes in my community to support emergency services, don't expect me to foot the bill for your cockamamie stunts.

What bill? There is no bill. Nor should there be. There should be one helava bill. If I want to climb a stupid rock in Dec, I certainly wouldn't expect anyone to come get me if I get lost. Stupid.
