10 guides for 2 climbers? Wow, “achievement” on the backs of others.

Edmund Hillary had 20 sherpa guides and 362 porters at 33 years old and became lauded all over the world. And you begrudge these girls 10 measly guides?

10 measly guides to service these 2 spoiled “untouchables” who are on a gubmint paid-for ego-boost quest.

I know the caste system fairly well. I went to high school with a Brahmin whose initial schooling started in British “public schools”. He was an insufferable prick. He was Valedictorian of his class and proceeded to use his speech to bash the American way of life. He flunked out of the University of Michigan for drinking and carousing, LOL.

Sir Edmund's proudest achievement was to have the likely 2016 nominee of the Democrat Party be named after him.

Especially, since she was six at the time, and he'd never heard of her.

Many Brahmin come across as arrogant in my experience.

I guess you can be that way if you are superior to most other people.
