My understanding as someone who has read a bunch of books about Everest/K2 etc is that the trip into base camp involves almost no mountaineering, is still at quite a bit of altitude, and is really just an incredibly long unscenic muddy slog. There are also big issues on the approach trails to the "big" mountains as human waste does not degrade at that altitude. On the way to K2 there is basically a small oasis spot that is covered in human poo poo. Do Rainer, Shasta, and a bunch of 14,000ers in CO before even thinking about climbing at any altitude in nepal. If you want a long hike do some of the PCT. If you want a long and hard hike that's more vertical ascending than everest & also overpopulated do the AT. if you are cool and extremely fertile and desirable by the opposite sex do the CDT.
