List of first ascents table

I think we should take the "death statistics" out of the main "List of first ascents" table, and move it to the section on death statistics? It would reduce the width of the main table, and would appear as a smaller table on its own as the rows would be narrower? Aszx5000 (talk) 10:56, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I support this idea. Szelma W (talk) 21:41, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'm going to try and do it. ?! Aszx5000 (talk) 19:09, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think it worked - might try to justify the text beside the death statistics table. Aszx5000 (talk) 19:30, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List of Climbers to Ascend all 8000m peaks

Can someone please add Chris Warner (USA) who reached #14 w the ascent of Manaslu Sept 20, 2023. 200.10.106.212 (talk) 20:45, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A new 14x8000 summiteer

Pasang Namgel Sherpa reached the summit of Broad Peak today. This means he has now climbed all of the 8000 meters peaks.

Could someone please add his name to the list. 2A00:23C8:BB93:4701:75B5:C018:C73B:2277 (talk) 17:27, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two more 14x8000 climbers

Shehroze Kashiff (Pakistan) and Adriana Brownlee (UK). They both climbed Shishapangma and thus completed all 14 of the 8000m peaks. Can someone please add their names to the list. 2A00:23C8:BB93:4701:F427:DFFF:FEAE:9C71 (talk) 23:14, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First attempt that reached over 8000 m

I am not sure whether it's known but it would be interesting to add the first expedition that reached 8000 m or passed some significant passages on the route before the summit was reached. I know about Andrew Irvine and George Mallory who reached at least 8450 m on Mt. Everest in 1924 but I don't know whether they were the first one to achieve it. --Pan Někdo (talk) 15:13, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
