A lucrative climbing season is in doubt for the Nepalese Government following a walkout by Sherpas from the base camp of Mount Everest. The climbing guides have long been unhappy with their treatment, wages and benefits, and last week's avalanche, which killed 16m, seemed to be a tipping point. Government officials offered the families of those sherpas killed in the avalanche only $415 for their loss and criticized the guides who have left the mountain as "hooligans." Take a look.
