In all the climbing world there must exist one pitch that has been climbed more times then any other.
With varying populations of climbers and area's having been 'discovered' at different times, I might lean towards something in the Gunks.
Maybe Bishop's Terrace in Yosomite?
Or something in J tree?
What do you think?

The most visited park, for CLIMBING? JT.
Easiest, most accessable crag? Old Woman.
Highest star moderate on the formation?
Chalk one up for Woodies route. Aesthetic as it gets, deserving as well.

beginner's crack @ Carderock, "5.2" (35'?)
Soloed or roped climbed 3-20 times every ok weather day for 60 years- unless someone gets their knee stuck then it is greasy for a while after.
Last time I climbed at that wall, there were 3 of us simul climbing.

Gota be Toejam on the Old Woman.
Double Cross may be a close second though.

No its got to be something in the valley. I think over all that has more traffic than JT.

The op said in the world...
you think (and I have no idea) the route is in the states?
Maybe Europe somewhere...
Not sure but I've done almost all the ones above...
Interesting Q.
Cheers,

Sorry Hoipolloi,
I'm with the OP and lean toward the Gunks. Climber density there is well beyond what I've seen most other places. Routes like High-E, Laurel, Rhododendron, Jackie, Classic, etc. probably get way more traffic than anything in the Valley or J-tree.

I think it has to be a couple o routes on Swan Slab too. There are people there pretty much on a daily basis. YMS, other climbers either practicing or just going for one pitch wonder etc. J Tree does get its fair share of traffic but, not as much I think during the week especially in July and August. But the slab you can count on someone there just about any time of year.

fogarty,
r ski track, and leave it to beaver?
are you kidding?
The move off the bolt on r ski track kinda shuts a lot of people down, and i hardly ever see anyone on da beave.
the rest definitely see a lot of traffic

Another vote for the half-dome cable route. That was a good catch, IMO

It's not the cables on Half Dome since they are shut down for months out of the year and fail to qualify as a "Pitch" If we are to actually answer the question and consider the whole world, we probably don't have the knowledge to answer the question without our local bias. How about the US, or california? Maybe we could get somewhere with that?
It's probably some little nondescript pitch on some local crag that a guide service gangbangs every day, all day, all year
Peace
