its impossible to say because a different number summit every year and we have no records of people who have climbed in the past.
Nobody really knows if George Mallory reached the summit of Mount Everest in 1924. Some say he did while others say he did not. May be one day we will find the real answer.

As of 2015 there has been no evidence to show that George Mallory reached the summit of Mount Everest in 1924. Some people believe he did while others say he didnt. Maybe one day more clues will be found on the mountain to help determine if he got there or not.
At a guess I would say between 3 - 4 thousand.
