As with most mountains, the difficulty depends very much on the route taken. There are many challenging routes on Everest that most people never see or complete. Also, some people are acting like it's a Sunday stroll to get up and down Everest. Even with a guide, equipment and established route, it is still a very difficult thing to do. It is, however, a rich man's game to climb Everest. Hell, the trek just to get to base camp is something like 15-18 days.
