How about this.

One can climb whenever one wants, equipped as they decide, but some form of rescue insurace policy be required, so that could pay for the cost of any rescue, instead of the taxpayer having to foot the bill? I have heard that in some areas any rescue would be charged to the rescuee (is that a word?), but in others it is not. Some states used have an automatic rescue insurance if you are a license hunter/fisherperson. There used to be an insurance policy available from some agency in Alaska, I forgot which, that covered rescue. I seem to recall a rescue attempt a few years ago, possibly on Hood (getting old is a bummer), where a military Blackhawk crashed during a rescue attempt (there was even great video of the crash). Should the taxpayer be responsible for the cost of the aircraft and the injuries to the crew, or should the victims have to pay? After all, they are the ones who made the decisions, good or bad, that started the whole rescue in the first place...
