OK...I have always wondered a couple of things, and they are not "Who climbed El Cap the fastest?"

1) Who has climbed El Cap from base to summit the most times?

2) Who has climbed the most DIFFERENT routes on El Cap?

PETE, do you know, cause I sure don't!

Florine, and Gerberding both did their 100th ascent of El Cap together...


Way to join forces!!

ok so Florine and Gerberding have the most ascents. I think Chris MacNamara may have climbed the most different routes.

I don't think Chris McNamara has the most different routes. I think Gerberding has that one also.

The correct answer is Gerberding. Check out the following site:

This should answer things for even the most ardent trivia seeker... :)

Just remove the period from the end of the link then it works.

I've noticed a few ommitions even in a scan. I think it needs to be updated.
