some hikers really put others at risk.
I posted a disagreement to something you'd said in another thread, but I agree wholeheartedly with this statement. I understand that experienced hikers can accidentally find themselves in a rough spot, but I've also wondered how many dangerous rescues are being done because of an amateur hiker's stupidity. No, I don't know the numbers, but I'd be interested if somebody else has some.
