I guess thats part of the skill requirement to being a GOOD guide, in any activity. Not everyone has the patience to deal with beginner climbers, paddlers etc.
I would be embarresed if I as a guide couldn't climb a gr8 and be so far out of my depth that I have the fear of a groundfall. Its also a much better altenative to dumpster diving.
As for not being able to think of anything worse you probably haven't worked as a mechanic, truck driver, office worker etc. That sort of work is truly soul destroying.
