Is this some kind of bad joke, or is it a poorly constructed troll?
So who exactly are you working for as a guide? Sounds like pirate guide work to me. A big no no these days.
What medical training do you have?
"I'm losing confidence, you seemed so confident before, but it doesn't seem like you know where you're going and if you don't know where you are going then how will you know which climbs will be safe."
This speaks volumes. Rule 1 in guiding is know your area. Have it dialed. I show up as much as an hour before the client arrives to have things ready and setup. I know how to keep the pace going to eliminate possible down time. The worst thing you can do with a client is to not no where you're going or having them sit around while you figure out what to do.
If you are unclear about an area, go out the day before and dial the area in.
There's a good reason why most guide schools hire either locals or long term climbers who know the area like the back of their hand.
You have absolutely no business guiding.
