This is something I deal with almost every weekend during the winter months, that is people biting off a lot more than they can chew. I have come to the conclusion all you can do is tell them what you think. If they ask for help, you help. If they shine you on, just keep moving so you don't have to view the disaster, if it occurs.
I have approached people who appear lost, when they ask where they are, my response is let me show you on your map, most do not have a map. I have asked people using trekking poles and microspikes high angle slopes how will they arrest or belay a fall, many respond I will not fall. The MMWT has the same type of people on it every day during the quote season.
