Re: slopingThe slope is around 50 degrees (max) I think - it is not as steep as it looks in the picture. I climbed it with one axe.
I'm not sure about the costs of a guide as I have not been to Nepal for a while now. I cut down the cost by doing all of the acclimatisation on my own and I met the guide at a pre-arranged vilage and only used his services for a few days.
The best person to talk is Jamie McGuinness who can give good advice:

updated conditionsThe mountain has changed dramatically in the last few years, the slope to the summit ridge is now closer to 75 degrees at the steepest, as you no longer ascend to the saddle and instead must ascend further to the right, closer to the summit.
