Cars decades ago also didn't have ABS, airbags, headrests.

Since I drive safely and carefully, I don't need these safety aids. And since I'm so insanely good and experienced with a million kilometers even on the most messed up roads, nothing can happen to me, let alone a mistake…

For consideration of heads of alpinism schools...,
one of the schools (sailing) had at the beginning free introductory courses to attract new members.

Soon they found out they became kindergarten for kids during holidays. So they raised the price of the introductory course to make selection and only those came who really had big desire (and even among them there was big dropout). Follow-up courses and other benefits were then favorable.

With low prices for greenhorns you won't get quality staff, but with discrimination you will deter many who would want to acquire knowledge for moving in mountains.

p.s. no longer the youngest seeking where I could acquire quality knowledge and experience
