Sanders' account recounts synoptic gospel accounts. They say he went to Jerusalem only once, ever.
Only John says Jesus showed up more than once in Jerusalem for Passover. Then only two or three times.
Yet Sanders' Jesus' Last Week chapter tells about how all male Jews were supposed to go to Jerusalem every year of their lives.
So, I would say that Jesus had been to Jerusalem annually for perhaps at least half of his 34 years.
