Don't know about 5.14 climbers, but I know someone who could redpoint 13b and on-sight 12d and could barely do 2 pull-ups, so your poll is kinda pointless.

I am *FAR* more impressed by this than by anybody's astronomical pull-up count. In general, the fewer pull-ups a 5.14 climber can do, the more impressed with that person I'll be.

I'd be impressed too if I could believe it was true. Do you have a video of this person climbing ?

Well i'm sure they could do a lot in my opinion.
For example: I my younger years, i could do on average 90-100 in the gym. Then I did other things and got soft. I know you all probably don't beleve me.
But i wish i could get back to that level. Now I can do only 15, and I climb a 5.11. If i could get there I could probably climb a 5.14. It would realy help me on those long routes.

I dont think # of pull ups really has anything to do with grade you climb. Theres so much more that factors in. But I would assume, based on the level of training required to climb that hard, somewhere in the 25-50 range would make sense. Any more would indicate pull up-specific training.

This I don't believe for one second.
There is no way someone will climb 5.12 and not be able to at least do 10 pullups.

I am not sure if I can do ten pullups.
Are you implieng 5.12ness?
That seems to be the case.
Are you going to try for ten and let us know the results.
I'm sure there is a tree, or door frame or such in your direct line of site that you could quickly find out with.

I'm not a 5.14 climber, but I have done a few 13d's and I can typically do ~15 pullups, but I train pullups so that will colour the result. My climbing partner climbed 5.14 last year and he struggles to do 10 pullups, he can however do a 1arm pullup, I can't. Ondra (5.15+) said in a recent interview he can do 28, but can't do a 1armer. Patxi (5.15+) can do 30 and 1 x 1armer. Macleoud (5.15) can do 24 and has in the past done 5 x 1armers. So it's pretty conclusive: a 5.14 climber can do some pullups.
