Sherpa guides in Nepal are considering cancelling Everest ascents after an avalanche on Friday killed 16 sherpas. The sherpas have threatened a boycott unless they get a bigger share of revenue from foreign climbers. Sherpa Jamling Tenzing Norgay is the son of Tenzing Norgay who along with Edmund Hillary was the first to climb the mountain.
