Have Ed H. write a formula that can predict the number of ascents using the coefficient of friction on the mandatory holds.
Considering they feel like greasy glass I'll estimate one million +/- three

Probably easier if you limit it to climbs using hands and feet and only the rope to catch them if they fall.

Over the decades I've ascended so many buttresses that were piles of manure that they all fade together now into one vague and faintly ever-present odor. So I don't remember if any particular ascent was relevant to your present topic. I just remember that there were a lot of ascents of what could only be described as manure pile buttresses.
I don't know if that vagueness of "known," seeing as it picks out almost nothing in particular, could be worthwhile to you.
Perhaps that question about clarity is me descending into the manure pile that is analytical philosophy. But that would be a descent, about which it seems you would not care, seeing as you expressly said "ascents."
Also, philosophy probably could not count as a buttress, even metaphorically. Any particular philosophy could be buttressed, but it seems clear to me that this is not the sense of "buttress" you have in mind.
Sorry. The more I've thought it through, the more convinced I am that I can't help you in your quest.
But I shared the above anyway just to let you see the process of my trying to be helpful, so that you could see how seriously I have taken this thread.

Many special and ingenious people climbed Manure Pile.
Wasn't it also called "Ranger Rock"?
Same thing.

A mildly interesting question. The number must be over 10K, yes?

I don't have enough fingers for this exercise. But, luckily, I do have enough for several other exercises.....

Well I've got a number of IAD and IAP ascents myself.
I hope I make the book.
I even guided a Norwegian girl up it and broke all the pitches into two so we had good comms, and could see each other.
I may have the only 16 pitch ascent of Nutcracker.....

It was epic Ryan, that's for sure. It was a complicated love triangle sorta thingy...
I was dating Norwegian woman #1, who asked me to take her good friend, Norwegian woman #2 up a long route. Woman #2 was not as good a climber as the rest of the Norwegian contingent that summer. Everyone was trying to fill their personal tick book, and lady #2 had trouble finding solid partners. She was a great gal, so I agreed to do it.
Actually it was a great day in the sun, only one of many great stories to be had from MPB.
If only that stone could talk.
