Spring 1997 season
83 expeditions, of which 45 put someone on the summit. 188 summits (147 by members, 41 by hired staff) and 12 deaths, among 664 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.
