I am not sure who is keeping the records and how they track it, but these days the ascent is being documented somehow. There are controversies in the old days one whether the mountaineers had made it as claimed (even Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were doubted at some point), but in recent decades... dozens of mountaineers are climbing the mt daily during the open season, and the peak is actually visible with modern binoculars... it's a bit difficult to lie I guess.
