UKC

(In terms of the most logged climbs)

See the very bottom.

In reply to Oli:

It's not about size, it's the quality that counts.

In reply to Oli:

The race to 10,000 is on!

In reply to Quarryboy:

Interesting.

For the 214 people who have Amphitheatre Buttress on their wish list; don't bother, it's pants...

In reply to Merlin:

No its not.

In reply to Oli:

Thanks for the data porn

In reply to Quarryboy:

Definitely helps to be near grit. An easy place to go and tick 50 routes in an evening.

In reply to Quarryboy: its inversely proportional to the most prolific ukc posts stats. Lets not talk about it, ley=ts do it.

In reply to wiwwim:

Proof? Plenty of prolific posters have huge tick lists. I'm with Pylon King on the pants issue since we are on the subject of daft assertions.

In reply to Quarryboy:

People do seem to measure two differing things with their logbooks though.

I have only every logged climbs once. The first time I climb them. I possibly re-date them with a note when I improve the style. Some however appear to log a route every time they ascend it.

For example Hammy has logged 'A Route' at Pex Hill 27 times.

I have always thought that distinguishing between 'climbs logged' and 'different climbs logged' would be a useful function.

In reply to Brown:


Agreed. There's your logbook of climbs done, and then there is a training record. If a filter could be applied to only show completed climbs it would help as well. It would make sense of the boulder problems logged as worked & did not finish too, but also allow people to record the day they started up a multi-pitch route but bailed due to bad weather.

In reply to Quarryboy:

Interesting that a quarter of all gritstone climbs logged are at stanage, but no non-grit crag has more than one or two percent of non-gritstone climbs logged.

In reply to Red Rover:

eh?!?

In reply to The Pylon King:

I think he's trying to say a lot of grit stone climbing happens just at stanage where as climbing on other rock types much more dispersed across a wide range of crags.

In reply to Lord_ash2000:

Thanks, my brain is on a go slow (more than usual) today

In reply to Lord_ash2000:

The fact that Stanage has ahuge no. of routes is significant too.
I presume that South Pembroke isn't counted as one crag for example.

In reply to DubyaJamesDubya:

Well stanage is split into four crags with 25 percent of all grit ticks betweem them. There's more routes there than any other crag but all the majority of the other grit crags have loads of routes as well, even some of the minor crags still have well over 100, so you'd expect more spread, I think a lot of people just go to stanage. Unless there's a lot of climbers out there who go to lots of different crags but call in at Stanage for an evenings soloing which would lead to a lot of ticks. Not that it really matters, I like how you can find a moorland crag with 100 clean routes and have it to yourself.

In reply to Brown:



That's how I do it as well.

In reply to The Pylon King:

Yes it is.

In reply to Red Rover:
I'm thrilled at the prospect of the race for a million. At present it seems to be between grit (not quarried) and limestone, but if the granites could agree to recognise no differences they could make a late challenge!

In reply to Andy Say:


I only log things once, and then only solos or leads. The exception being southern sandstone top roped ascents. I don't log routes I've repeated, seconded or failed on. I'd be much higher than number 13 if I did that!

In reply to DerwentDiluted:

Yep same here. Bouldering, solos or leads except on southern sandstone. I did put one top rope on a few weeks ago but I wouldn't normally, it was just a special route and I'll lead it soon.

For me the logbooks are the best bit about UKC and I actually look forward to coming home from climbing and filling it in, and reading others comments on the routes.
Yes I am that sad.

In reply to deacondeacon: Ditto. My Girlfriend gets as annoyed with me staring endlessly at my log book as she does with me actually going out climbing.

In reply to Red Rover:

Good spot. Its part of why I argue UKC includes disproportionate numbers of inexperienced climbers and why Stanage easy VS grades are the most distorted of any heavily voted grades. My log is combined with Moff (with comments on our experience) and part published on 'Offwidth'
