Crowds of people in the wilderness is always a disaster.

My take"
Pikes Peak, Once you have the crowds, you no longer have a wilderness. Many years ago, after reading about the mess on the mountain, I had a strange idea, tunnel into Mount Everest, build and elevator to the top. Each person could take a selfie at the top and then go back down. Unfortunately not even that would protect the mountain because that would increase the number of idiots wanting to go. As you say mountain climbing, even with skilled climbers, is still dangerous. Not climber but I have enjoyed a few times of being alone in various areas, peace and quiet and no distractions to interfere. That was what a wilderness experience used to be.
