There's a whole campaign/movement from the Sherpa's side that's kind of interesting too. They advocate that their children go to school so that they don't have to work as climbers when they get older. It's obviously very dangerous for them as well, not just the "tourist" climbers. But at the same time, what did they all do before it became a business to help people climb it? Between the mountain being sacred, the trashsite it's become, and the danger for Sherpa climber-workers, maybe they should put an end to the business and stop helping? Obviously it's not that simple, but I find it an interesting dilemma.
