The climber likely won’t pay a cent
NO ONE, would ever want to be in that situation.
Incredible skill and coordination from countless hours of training shown by that crew.
Crazy to think that's significantly cheaper than an ambulance ride.

California, Idaho, Maine, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Utah all have statutes in place that allow them to charge individual(s) for SAR costs, however in practice this only happens if the individual(s) were acting negligent and is not often utilized due to public-relations issues
If it’s the Coast Guard or the National Park Service (NPS), then they pick up the bill. Or rather, the taxpaying citizens of the United States do. Neither agency has a policy for charging for SAR missions.

quote:I guess if you break it down, while the cost to the person is significantly cheaper, every single person in Riverside County is paying for a service that probably only a few people a year use. Kinda like everyone paying the tax in EBR for ambulance that most people don’t utilize. Same thing in New Orleans.

Interesting. Colorado charges a SAR fee on their hunting licenses.
