Do a search for the top 10 first ascentionists... I'm curious how many routes Porter and Johnny put up (probably in the hundreds)...

Maybe it will be doubled before the end of the year *cough* :wink: (many of those are from being involved with the first ascent party and not necessarily the actual FA, so the numbers might not really be as big as they appear)
