They're just having fun
I suppose the search and rescue team that has to pull them out of wherever will also be having fun (if not this climb then a future one).
This has always been a weird take, what do you think attracts people to that kind of SAR work? Generally a love for the outdoors and activities like this. You'll have a hard time finding someone capable of high angle rescue that doesn't enjoy or understand climbing as a sport.
