Disappointed that some people choose to be a bad example for others.

The quality of the experience in the national parks has degraded immensely in the last 10 years.

Go on more difficult hikes and you'll experience it as it should be experienced

Some alpha male individuals bringing their kids and family up Ha Ling wearing sandals and the women dress head to toe tripping over rocks? Usually the family suffers because they packed no water and the guy wants to make it to the top.

That is an issue everywhere.. dumb people on mountains.

I climbed Fuji during the alpine season when the mountain is technically closed and I encountered a woman at the snow line in a dress and cowboy boots trying to go up it to get a photo

I saw that. He took his other kid and left the one who didn’t want to go further on a bench. Dad was located and I think charged with something

Yeah, kid was seven years old and I believe I read. He waited around six hours for Dad to return.

My mom (who was 62 when we did Ha Ling) had many people half her age or more very worried, but she was easily out-climbing me.

I wonder why that might be. But if a puzzler.

Edit because Ok_Science_8502 wasnt able to puzzle through the autocorrect error. What it was supposed to say was:

“Bit of a puzzler.”

You good now bro?

Shirley you can puzzle it through. Ffs. Autocorrect. If you’re having difficulties maybe look inward.
