Spring 1980 season

← Winter 1979 · Summer 1980 →

38 expeditions, of which 19 put someone on the summit. 90 summits (67 by members, 23 by hired staff) and 11 deaths, among 342 members and 48 hired staff recorded.

Summits count member records: someone who summited twice on one expedition counts once, someone on two expeditions in the season counts twice. Claimed (unrecognised) ascents are excluded and disputed ones included, as in the database's own statistics. Hired staff are only recorded when they went above base camp.
