Spring 1996 season
70 expeditions, of which 45 put someone on the summit. 206 summits (161 by members, 45 by hired staff) and 14 deaths, among 573 members and 61 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.
