There are not as many people...as you think

There are not as many people who have climbed the mountain as you think.

Do you understand this sentence above? I'd like to express the idea that you might think 100 million people have climbed it, but the fact is that only 30 million people have.
Thank you.

Yes it is understandable. But it is longer than needed. Just say: Not as many people have climbed the mountain as you think.
