Most ascents update

Nirmal Purja now has 42 total ascents of 8000 meter peaks, surpassing the record of 38 held by Kami Rita Cl2kliss (talk) 13:32, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

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)

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

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

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