I'd also look into the data from this year's 24 Hours of Horseshoe. Tommy Caldwell and Jeremy Collins climbed 222 routes in 24 hours. (Oh, and in case it wasn't clear, they won... by a lot). If you assume an average of only 40 ft per route, that's over 8,000 feet of vertical. I have no idea what the actual average route height is though - I pulled that number out of my ass.

On a different note, I recall reading that the 2nd place team would have had to climb something like an additional fifty 5.13 routes to beat them. Shit is crazy.

No surprise that it's still TC though.
