Has anyone even begun to think about the fact that Rainier NP is closed right now and so all the newbs are flocking to Hood. I'm surprised that there has been less accidents on Baker due to this fact, but that is more likely because there tends to be more Canadians that frequent that mountain. Our neighbors to the North tend to take more responsibility for their own actions, where as us stupid Americans want to blame everyone else but themselves. Go ahead you media fuck ups, make a big hullabulloo about this accident and that accident. I don't care if they make more rules for climbing, it's just more that I will ignore. Bandit climbers Unite.
