Alan, I think you might be even more nerdy than me! But numbers and stats are COOL  8)

Those from the list who've only done one (AFAIK, I've question marked ones I don't know, mainly the older ones on the list). I've marked the ones who've only got unjustified with a U for you Doyle.
Barker?
Me
Fatty Hickish
Baxter
Bransby?
(Buys if Unjustified goes down)
Davies
Halsey?
Heap?
Jeewooth (U)
Leach?
Marks (U)
Mitchell?
Napier (U)
Palmer
Redpath?
Reeve (U)
Richard?
Sutton?
Walker (U)
Whittaker (U)
Zippy?

So allowing for the few of the ?s to have done more than one it's ~30 left on the '2 or more' list

Didn't Mitchell do the F.A. of Unjustified and True North? That's more than one I think...

We were chatting in the pub last week and were guessing how many of the 50 have done more than 1 and how many have done one at home and abroad? And how many of the ascents were in the last 5-10 years. I bloody love stats.  :smartass:

So its not just me who is a bit of a geek then  ;D

Someone should sort out some graphs and pie charts and stuff.

If you plotted them as a cumulative from when the first 8c was climbed then you would get a nice indication of whether there has been the same number if people coming through each year to climb 8c or if there had been an increase/spurts etc.. You'd need to know when someone first climbed 8c though...

Make it Funky is almost as popular as Unjustified for the single 8c tick.

Which is the most popular uk 8c of all though?

I wonder how many people in France have climbed at a similar grade?

Bet there are 100's of French climbers who have climbed 8c in France, but not so many have climbed 8c in France and in the UK!!!! Same goes for all those Spainish beasts too.
Visitors to climb 8c
Ondra (lots)
Ellie Chevieux (Make it Funky?)

Any others?

Better still convert it to an incidence rate of number of climbers who have climbed 8c per 1000 climbers or even per 100000 of the general population, because trying to compare raw numbers is meaningless if you don't account for the differences in population size (although France and the UK have roughly similar population sizes, Spain is a few tens of millions behind) and the proportion of the populace in each country that climb will vary.  :geek:

Not sure about Dyer and Bransby.


No doubt on Dyer any more!
