The distinctions between alpine and expedition styles dissolve in a one day ascent, as this one apparently was intended to be. The differences between these styles appear when what is normally a multiday trip is contemplated with (or without base camps and intermediate camps).
Everest is typically attempted expedition style - doesn't seem to have depressed fatalities noticeably.
