The issue is a lot like wag bags - no easy fix. The public wants access to the mountains and they want a safety net if they get in over their heads. Just when you think - "no one is dumb enough to do xxxxxx", someone dumb enough will prove you wrong.
Unless you restrict access when "someone" decides it's too dangerous or you stop bailing them out when they get over their heads it will remain as it is.
I don't have any good ideas or answers - I just know for every great idea there will be five "reasons" why it won't work.
In the meantime let's give thanks for the brave SAR folks who save not only those who had an accident, but those truely stupid who pressed on way past their limits.........................................DUG
