>>597560I can personally attest to the elitism from more experienced climbers to noobs. I went to Mt. Rainer with RMI 3 years back and there were maybe 5 guides with a group of 12-15 climbers/clients, none, including myself very experienced. The guides would shit talk amongst themselves about the clients within our group, previous groups and even others on the mountain that had no association with us. This crew was a bag of dicks
