It will take a while until the recent Everest ascent number is confirmed, but before here is the Everest Daily table updated to 2011. It is always possible, that the one or the other ascent can be added or deleted, but this is the knowledge of the moment. Also from 2010 there is a little update, so the most Everest ascenders on a single day were not 169, but 170.
