Autumn 2008 season
200 expeditions, of which 75 put someone on the summit. 423 summits (301 by members, 122 by hired staff) and 6 deaths, among 1,029 members and 254 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.
