By season

First ascent of each route

Route names are as recorded, so the same route can appear under slightly different names.

Youngest summiters

Oldest summiters

Ages are the database's calculated age (from the summit date and the date or year of birth), so can be a year out when only the year of birth is known.

Fewest days from base camp to summit

Days from the expedition's arrival at base camp to its first summit. Very short times are usually teams that acclimatised elsewhere first.
