One guys says he has ten kids and he wonders why he is poor. Maybe climbers should bring condoms and IUDs to Pakistan. The problems of these people don't stem from the rich Westerners who come to climb the mountain; it's their religion that is working against them. It's their almost complete lack of education. No amount of enlightenment or benevolence from climbers is going to change that.
With that said, if you can't climb a mountain on your own, stay home. I dabbled a bit in the mountains and I couldn't even dream about leaving tons of trash in my wake just so that I can say I climbed up a rock. Screw all of them, all that pay thousands of dollars to be escorted to the top while some flunkies do most of the work. Shame on all of them.
