Having taught mountaineering, I can say that no amount of "hand holding" will (short of helecopters, which have landed at the top of Everest) totally decrease the immense danger and effort to get to the top. It is still an amazing adventure and accomplishment. But I think the Sherpas are mountain gods and deserve almost all the credit.
Reinhold Messner's accomplishments are head and shoulders above the rest.
