Great article, Bee. Thanks!
You have to shake your head and wonder what they're thinking letting go of such experience just for a rule. They should develop a climbing ranger position that does only that and none of the law enforcement stuff during the "off season".
But then, if he begins his own guide service, perhaps he can make better money, with less bureaucracy, and the opportunity to teach and instill his experience and skills in others while he still can.
