These people refused to take a PLB, and couldn't even be bothered to take a small shovel, so exactly how well equipped are they?
Over 135 have died on Mt. Washington (NH).
130 climbers have died on Mt. Hood (OR).
About 100 have died on Mt. Rainier (WA).
95 climbers have died on Mt. McKinley (AK).
76 have died on K2.
Over 175 have died on Everest.
Like I said, if people want to go up, let them; and let them get down by themselves, too. How many would venture up there if they didn't know someone else would go after them? Why do you think they carry cell phones?
