Sorry, yes, both of those numbers are for all time.

However, the rate stands. It's not correct, according to the source on 8000ers, that 4000 people climb it in a year. Indeed, the list shows that number is for all time as well.

We're both wrong. It's 4000 people all time who have reached the summit. There is no number on the site indicating the number of attempts.
