Oh please....
Not everyone wants a rubber padded room world, where everything is safe and
risk free. If you don't wish to go, then don't, but don't remove the
excitement of doing something difficult for the rest of the world, just
because YOU think it's the way things should be.
Nobody at the ARRL puts a gun to someones head, and forces guys to go. They
do it precisely because it's difficult, remote, and yes, potentially
dangerous and certainly exciting.

However, I have to ask if this set of rocks is worth the risks? I know
mountain climbers die in their efforts and there are many other very
dangerous "sport" activities, but should we as a hobby sanction placing
our fellow hams into a place where the slightest bad weather, lightning
strike, or just a nasty fall would have been an easy-to-happen
disaster. How would we feel as hams if the worst had happened there? How
much should we depend on LUCK? I think anyone can go where ever they
please, but not with the sanction and official stamp of our great avocation.
Maybe it is time to re-think the DXCC status of this place?
