2200+ at Josh. Just hit over 100 at Fairview.
I've been keeping track in a climbing journal since 1968. I like facts (real facts not "alternative facts") and I love data.
However, it's never been about "the numbers," only the adventure.
It's cool because peeps are always asking questions about sh#t we did 30-40 years ago and I can say "I don't remember but I will check the records."
and...there ain't nothin' wrong with that!
But to climb over 1000 at Pinnacles? That is effing crazy and quite an accomplishment!

Brad, good to see that I was with you on a couple of the scariest. No wonder I don't go there often. Fun this past weekend though.

There are 211 new and found routes listed as of February 17, 2017 (when added to the 893 routes listed in the 2007 guidebook, this makes 1,104 routes publicly known to exist at Pinnacles).
My bad . . . way to get out there and do shit!

Considering all the crappy rock and dangerous leads, this accomplishment seems to rank up there with all 8,000'ers. I'm willing to bet fewer people accomplish it. Ugh. Hats off!

Fun thread!
Congrats to MTNyoung for an amazing track record.
I think the most, distinct routes I have done in one relatively small concentrated area is 193 at the Owen's River Gorge. I counted out of curiosity a while ago. And only a handful were mildly scary in that, gee it wouldn't be good to fall here, kind of way. The couple I thought were too scary, I backed off of. so of course they didn't get counted!
The scary factor makes your Pinnacles record that much more impressive!

I just got a report of an anonymous climber that is pushing a 1200 routes at an area where they have 2000 climbs. That's a damn solid push as well.
And I bet they could reach the JT locals club too, but for all the other great areas in the country they want to climb. nice work
Phylp, seems like a solid rate of completion!
One thing thinking about numbers and stats does is make you realize how many climbs are really out there. Not all are good, true. But we sure do have it pretty good in the U.S. all in all because of how many routes there are.

Just did a new route with Brad-he taught us how to place our first bolt! I think it was route 1011 for him...
