Not one African on the list?

Is that legal?

Not even so much as a lost trekker?

In the list there appear to be only a small percentage of people from the United States.

Do less people from the United States attempt it or are the US climbers more fit and/or more cautious?

I have noticed in hiking in the North Cascades and other mountain areas in Western Washington that there seem to be a lot of foolish hikers from other countries. By that I mean Chinese and Russians mostly. They go pretty high up without water, proper foot attire, or a pack with extra clothing and some food. Some hikers seem to think if they are in a group nothing could possibly happen to them.
