There were over 450 ascents and five fatalities on Everest, no ascent and one fatality on K2, 25 ascents and no fatality on Kangchenjunga, 25 ascents and one fatality on Lhotse, 27 ascents and one fatality on Makalu, 16 ascents in spring (plus well over 100 ascents in fall) and two fatalities on Cho Oyu, 35 ascents and two fatalities on Dhaulagiri I, 30 ascents in spring (plus a similar number in fall) and two fatalities on Manaslu, 22 ascents and two fatalities on Nanga Parbat, three ascents and one fatality on Annapurna I, 19 ascents and no fatality on Gasherbrum I, no ascent and one fatality on Broad Peak, two confirmed ascents and one fatality on Gasherbrum II and two ascents and one fatality in autumn on Shisha Pangma. 

It was difficult this year to compile the chronicles. Some false information was around on the net, but it was sorted out finally. The countings of the ascents of Everest are not finished yet, there were over 450! The fatalities table and the table with ascents without bottled oxygen (addition: Ludovic Challeat!) are updated already. The others will follow as soon as possible!

Andrew Lock finished the 14 8000ers on October 2^nd with Shisha Pangma. It was reported, that he made a variant of the “Iñaki route”, which is not correct.
 
To end confusion, 18 months ago the table with all routes and variants was published here and the original story with route sketch here, including a long forgotten route.

Austrian climbers made the first traverse to the East ridge in autumn 1980. It was published in the American Alpine Journal 1981, page 309, but forgotten in all publications afterwards until the launch of this website. The handmade route sketch was drawn by a member of the Austrian expedition and it was allowed to publish here under copyright.

Chech climber Leopold Sulovský is leading an expedition to Cho Oyu. They will attempt to climb a new route on the SW Face. Details are reported here!
