Had this argument with some friends the other day. Considering all people who consider themselves climbers-everyone from gym rats to pros, what percent of climbers can climb 5.12?

EDIT: let me make this clearer. 5.12. redpoint. sport. lead. outside.

This is a hard question to answer because it’s extremely location dependent. In Hawaii where we only have 200 - 300 climbers, leading 5.12 puts you in the top 5%. In a huge sport climbing area such as Red Rocks, 5.12 climbers are not hard to find and at that you dont even have to look far to find a 5.13 climber.
