I have never had such confrontations. I was curious to where they happened. I have been to the Reynolds, Mugs and Jugs etc and not seen the 'tude. But I do believe it exists. Oh well. I'll consider myself warned and be prepared.
Maybe the Americans should swarm the areas in posse like groups? Cell Phone Posse? Safety in numbers. Their is not anything but loggers railroad people etc up there in the winter. Either you are a ice climber or hockey player. I don't understand their thinking. What harm could ice climbers do? They drink pass out spend money and stare at icicles all day
