Hired summit count differs from the member records

The expedition's number of hired personnel who summited (SMTHIRED) differs from the number of its hired member records marked as summiting. Both exclude claimed ascents. Expeditions marked as claimed, and expeditions with no member records, are not checked.

An inconsistency between fields, not necessarily an error — the Himalayan Database is the authority.
