I'll leave the obvious messy stuff aside.

It's a pity that is a view of the various professionals that make a living from tour guiding and alike in the mountains...

I've run into several very experienced climbers that first started out by being instructed by commercial guides. Most if not all of them spoke highly of that experience in lieu of not having someone to show them the ropes to begin with. Or do these experiences not count for some reason?

I personally have never had a bad experience with a commercial tour group... But maybe I will someday?
