The money is a complicated issue for the Nepalese people. It's a bit of a gold rush, but also a high risk venture for guides.
Local guides don't have access to health care the same way western folk do. Even if they don't get killed in an ice-fall, many retire young due to injuries and lack of access to medical treatments.
There's immense pressure to take the dollars, and poor regulation from govt.
