to repay the hundreds of thousands, or perhaps millions of dollars that are being spent to find them, assuming they're found alive?
Personally, I'm tired of seeing tax dollars pay to rescue these people. I'd like to see a policy put in place where climbers have to buy an expensive permit to attempt the summit on one of these dangerous peaks, and sign a contract agreement that if they have to be rescued, they'll get a bill for the cost. They should have to put up a bond or other proof of financial capability to pay.
Heck, maybe some private insurance company should go into business offering policies that will repay these costs, and climbers should be required to show proof of insurance before they get their permit.
