Some countries make you buy rescue insurance before you can get a climb permit. Mt Everest cost like 10 grand just for the permit. The belief here in Colorado is "yea we pay hundreds of thousands a year for rescues but a million visitors spend a lot more than that in our state". Hundreds of volunteers jump in to help out. I used to volunteer after tornados in Arkansas and it was, I hate to use this term but "fun". Who pays the fire department when we wreck are cars or accidently start a fire?

I salute those crazy brave men for trying the climb and those brave and strong enough to help them out. RIP.
