    nothing annoys me more than mountainclimbers getting themselves into difficulties and having to expect others to risk their lifes to come and save them and at the cost of taxpayers.

    living in scotland, you get it on the news during the winter a LOT, folk going up the mountains (prepared/not prepared/experienced and not experienced) then getting into trouble or not being at a certain place at a certain time they told someone they would be there.

    so a whole rescue mission is launched.
    20 men and women
    Dogs
    Helicopters
    day or night
    risking their own lifes and taxpayers money.

    Personally i think that these folk if they want to go walking in the mountains should either have to pay for their rescue if they get into trouble (this could be thousands and thousands) which would probably put a lot of fuckwitts off actually going up there.

    But the way that serious climbers would do it is to pay a healthy premium each year which would allow them to go up the mountains and if they got into trouble the policy theyd paid for would cover the rescue.
