    I think these people are dumb as rocks myself, but it’s interesting to wonder why the bad decisions are made.

    NSR I believe has a policy of not charging the costs of the rescues to those they pull off the mountains, to not discourage people calling for help when they really need it, but I’m sure that’s a struggle to justify some days.
