Too subjective. For that group on that route on that day, obviously 10+.
If only they had a constellation map to guide their way.

Where do you live if I may ask?
Wow, I thought that Mt Rein was a pretty basic climb for being so tall?

I dont get how people get their thrills doing these kind of activities. Shit is dangerous.
If your family member says theyre gonna go climb some mountain or sail to the other side of the world just be prepared to hear something similar to this. Because the chances of them going missing is alot higher than me saying im going to go for walk around the block.
I've climbed Mount Ranier before and they were on a tough rout.
Doesn't look good for the climbers.
Taxpayers money at work, trying to save the deliberately stupid.
Harsh, but that's pretty much how I see it. Recreational mountain climbers should be forced to sign a "don't come rescue me"-contract unless they've made an advance deposit to pay for any eventuality.
They don't make you do that already, do they?

Yeah, may as well make don't rescue me laws for idiots in traffic, since that takes up much more of your time and money annually than a couple hikers on Rainier.

Sucks for the family but I have no sympathy for people when they die doing dangerous stuff. Isn't defying death the thing they are looking for and why they do it? Well sometimes death gets the upper hand. I know its a shitty thing to say but that's how I've always felt.
