Do you believe that climbers should post a BOND so that they will pay for their rescue if need be?

"Do you believe that climbers should post a BOND"

Nope. I'd rather the all-volunteer mountain rescue teams which comprise 99.9 percent of the on-the-ground rescue efforts should refuse all public funds and assistance and "organization", refuse to participate in non-climber SAR (to hell with the hikers), and let the state and feds build their own body of mountain rescue expertise at their own (e.g. your) expense.

Mountain rescue will still function as it always did and was intended to be - one climber helping another - but it will be insulated from the penny-pinching whiners and moaners.
