And then a ranger gave me a ticket on the way to the hospital for passing someone who pulled over 1/2 out of the road to look at elk. He didn't believe me at all when I said I did the crab walk N hop down from there.. I broke my foot “only” at the Hallett boulder.

I'd hate to be the person to break an ankle way back at one of these areas! Yeah, at some point the law of diminishing returns has to kick in.
