True. In a relative sense Everest is easy to climb in comparison to K2 which is almost the same height but has no tourist type climbers.

I watched some docu about some climbers taking on K2 and if I remember there is a 25% chance you will DIE.

A high altitude helicopter is available that can climb to 30,000 feet,( i am sure it takes a while) so am told. The mountain should be cleaned by trained aircrews who could fly up collect the crap and bodies and fly down to the base camp.
