New low (or should I say high) for guiding industry?

Man I am mad I didn't think of this. Good for the guide company coming up with an idea that seems crazy but obviously works.

I find this really amusing that people pay for this but at least its helping a guiding company out and giving climbing guides work opportunity

They're growing the industry, which inevitably creates more jobs in the guiding sector. Those clients will spread their "great adventure" to their other rich cohorts, who may eventually hire a guide for a different purpose, possibly to one up their friends. As long as guides aren't doing stupid shit, like trying to take someone who has never climbed, up the diamond, then there aren't too many negative consequences. Although, I can see that I may have contradicted myself now that I'm writing this as I just though of the Charlie Foxtrot that is Everest base camp.... Hmm, mixed emotions. Now if a service starts providing cliffside glamping options in Yosemite, that's a whole different can of worms.

It is an excellent idea to guide clients on non classic routes where recreational climbers never venture, who cares how much money the clients pay or what circus acts they participate in while paying.
