I think there is a huge difference between asking if someone is okay and reporting someone is in trouble on the mountain. Within the hours someone is on the mountain there could be many reasons they might not be doing well at various times. This does not mean they are not still able to make it down the mountain. They may need some food or water which a fellow hiker could give them or maybe they just need to use the WAG BAG or take a little rest. All these things would not require a rescue. My question about these so called "guides" is if they really thought they saw people in trouble is why they didn't offer any food or water to those hikers??
