I think Hans is up there. I believe he is like 79 times up The Nose plus his other routes.
Man, I haven't climbed anything 79 times.

Do they have to have been technical climbing ascents? Perhaps someone has ascended it by hiking more times - it's a good walk via several different routes, and a nice viewpoint. Yosemite being what it is, there's probably someone who really likes hiking up the Captain.

Steve and Hans teamed up on Dihedral in late 2002, and it was the 100th El Cap ascent for both of them. They're each well past 100 by now.

So, what do you all think of Hans' list? Definitive?

"So, what do you all think of Hans' list? Definitive?"
If there is a little "1" in the right hand column, then this means that Hans checked with the person in the row, otherwise he just took a guess.
The top few rows are all correct, except for Erik whose numbers are certainly higher. Erik wrote here:
http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=413017&tn=150&mr=10
in June, 2008 that he had done 46 separate routes, and there have been three wall seasons since then. So he might well be at 50 different routes by now! He also mentions that Hans' website is stuck on him at 42 routes, so Erik needs to email Hans with an update. It's worth clicking on the link above, if only to discover the correct spelling of Erik's name, which is a bigger mystery than his El Cap route count.

The original topic is "Who has the most El Cap ascents?"
Not who's done the most different routes.
This topic here is who's run up El Cap the most.
If you did east buttress of El Cap 1000 times you will win.
Win what?

1) hans florine 142, according to his website
2) Steve Gerberding 109(last was solo of On the Waterfront last summer)
3) Steve schneider 108
So yeah, i'm just one behind gerby, and will hopefully be tied with him in a couple of weeks. i would stress that i am not in a competition with gerberding, but i should pass him up this year as he lives in josh, and i live in oakland and am thus more active. I'll never approach his number of different routes, i think he's done 57 now, while i've only done 35.

East Buttress don't count. Hiking don't count.
Grade VI counts.

The EB could be a grade VI if you move slow enough.
Does that mean we throw out the Nose since many do it sub 48 hours nowadays? That makes it a grade V.
What about the West Face? A common one day trip but a grade VI in some books.
Just yanking...

in my book, and i believe hans and i are in agreement, is that the west face counts, but the east buttress does not. the west face is a big 2000 foot wall, and certainly would take a party multiple days if they were hauling. shipoopoi

Concur with above. I did knott include my ascent of East Butt in my count, but did so for West Face.
Werner's right, I don't really belong on this thread!

pete, you certainly belong on this thread! after all, what the F@#k do you do, just come down every year and do more routes, without any repeats. honestly, i have the highest respect for your el cap list. you are a big time wall climber in my book. The fact that you are candian, with all the extra traveling makes it especially proud. don't get cocky though, LOL, steve

If you look at the link in Clint's post ,the forth on the first page , the second row after the names list the total number of routes done. Looks like Ammon has the most with 61.
Edit: Perhaps Steve Geberding,,(sp) 80 different routes.
How many routes are there on El Cap?

How many people actually climbed El Cap to the top??
Bet very very few!!
The actual top of El Cap is another long 1000 feet of steep slab.
LOL, we're all poseurs ...... :-)

Werner, the percentage of successful El Cap summits is way higher than Middle Cathedral! The success rate on Middle must be .1%. No one ever stands on that summit. Possibly the least summited feature in the valley?

Kris Solem was asking above. This page is from Hans Florine's website, it's a list of El Cap resumes:
http://www.speedclimb.com/yosemite/compare.htm
Hans' page here is a bit out of date. I'm currently at 59 different El Cap routes with Waterfall Route and WOEML Repair last fall. Not counting bivies at the base or on the summit, 743 nights on the side of the Big Stone!
Looking for El Cap routes #60 and #61 this June! [God willing of course, but He seems to be on my side - He sure spared my ass last fall! TBTG]

I have four plus a variation and hammerless ascent of the Muir but that isn't any sort of record number.
Robbins has three.
Porter has six.
Bridwell has at least five...
