I don't intend to sound like a dick about it. To a certain degree anybody should be able to anything with their life. The problem for me is that by having a lot of people on Everest without the experience to climb it relatively safely, a lot of people are put at risk.
It's a money business now and Sherpas, who are treated like shit by their employers, lose their lives with inexperienced clients and the weak climbers make it more dangerous for the stronger climbers.
If they kept summit permit numbers capped to a safe number each season, I would be less arsey about inexperienced people wanting to have a crack.
