Opportunity for a lottery system: pay some significant fee,
put in a few weeks hauling trash down from high camps
to earn a 10 to 15% chance at trying to summit during the
next season. Unlucky entrants are welcome to pay fee and cleanup to try again
another year, and the mountain ends up cleaner.

- DonHopkins 7y agoExcellent idea! Bonus for frozen turds, yellow snow, and body parts.
- mieseratte 7y agoThis is how they manage alligator tags in my state, and I've heard of similar systems in other states for scarce wildlife tags, so that type of method for preservation of resources isn't at all unheard of. Each year you pay some fee ($10 for this gator tag), are entered into a lottery. If are not issued a tag you receive a preference point. If you are issued a tag you get the tag, go back to 0 points. Some states use points as tickets in a drawing system, and some use the points as levels, e.g. all 5 pointers get tags, then 4 pointers, and so on until you run into the first "less tags than people" level at which point you do a drawing. I love the idea of adding in a volunteering component to help improve the area.
