I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, which is a sad circus where money is king, and wrote about my experience here : http://rdklein.fr/essays/kilimanjaro.html

I really hope Everest will never get to this point. The difficulty of this summit protects it a bit, as (more or less safely) dragging an inexperienced climber up the mountain is not going to be cheap, but what I hear these last few years about the Everest is alarming.

To people that love mountaineering and don't want to climb in America or Europe, I suggest Kirghizstan. It's relatively safe, pristine, and it's really beautiful. There is no infrastructure and no mountain rescue, though, so YMMV depending on what you want to experience.
