List of Mount Everest guides

Mount Everest guides are people who help people to climb Mount Everest in the Himalayas.
Guides can, for example, set fixed lines of rope for others to use, organize rescues in times of trouble, or use communication tools to call in helicopter evacuations.[1][2] Another job on Mount Everest is as an "icefall doctor" using ladders and ropes to make a path across the Khumbu Icefall, which guides might do themselves or delegate to others.[3] Guides, especially if they are guiding for a mountaineering or adventure company, often call the people they help up "clients".[4]
Another task on Everest is helping people with medical problems, although the work can be dangerous.[5] When potentially deadly health conditions strike, the guides can sometimes lose their clients or abort the climb.[6] One mother of two died after developing a health problem at the Everest base camp.[7]
Mount Everest guides assist climbers on what are called "guided" climbs, and guided ascent can cost double an unguided one.[8] Really, many of the climbers in later times are unguided but can get some support from a Sherpa, which is more like a Alpinist porter but much cheaper and still also called guide.[8] The term guide can mean something along the lines of an assistant all the way to a World-famous mountaneer.[8]
