Dumb question about summit records from a non climber.

UPDATE: Found the group here: http://www.himalayandatabase.com/2006%20Season%20Lists/2006%20Autumn%20A12.html

So, it really was kind of a dumb question, I just hadn’t looked hard enough, but leaving it for posterity.

Hi, I’m new to the Everest (and climbing/mountaineering) rabbit holes. Sorry if this question is obvious.

According to Wikipedia, Jimmy Chin (of Meru fame among other things) has summited at least twice, and skied “from the summit” once. The latter is supposed to have happened in October 2006. As a newb, I’m super curious about this. I though summit attempts basically only happened in early summer. I’m also curious if he was part of a big expedition, used oxygen, etc.

But ... I can’t find any detailed references to his summits at all. He doesn’t seem to appear in sources that use the “Himalayan Database”, although to be fair I haven’t installed it myself. He’s not mentioned on the blog of Alan Arnette, who seems to have covered Everest climbers since at least 2004 and has a big summary of the 2006 season ... which you would think would include someone skiing down Everest.

Anyway ... I’m mostly just curious about the details, and why he doesn’t seem to appear in “official” records of Summiters.
