To further illustrate Al's point, here's a graph from another thread:
It suggests to me at least that there is probably a lot of missing stuff after 1994. But there may have also been a peak of new route activity with the "Tucker Tech, et al, late-1980s" routes.

Not a fa, but I put those two quarter inch bolts at the top of the first pitch of sunnyside bench jam crack in 72. Does this count?

hey there zombi... say, thanks very much for the share, it was fun to see my brothers name there, me being new at learning all this stuff...
say, if you had NOT shared, why, i would not have known that my brother mark had done 40 FA routes, in the first place...
it is interesting to know, history wise and as to the interest of learning more about each man, and climber, as you learn these things (in this case, for me knowing more about my brother)...
this give me a bit more understanding to my brother, and his passion, his search for adventure, and his curiosity and his tries at tackling new things and his tenacity...
EVEN as it does for all those that know the other climbers and learn what they TOO have done... (hopefully to it gets folks to want to try their own hand at new adventures, too) ... :)
ps:
say, it was very fun to see merry's name and that she had done one too.... we learn so much about folks here on supertopo...
thanks so very much for the share....
*sure hope that when mark is not so busy, that he can share all this stuff with me, being that i was in texas, and never got to share in the stories of adventure...
**oh my... say, sure hope i have perhaps 40 "quotes" or "insights" from my novels that are kind of like "fa"s to be of help to someone, so that my life may give a worthy trail to those that come after me, sometime, down the ol' trail of life....
edit:
here's a salute to all those climbers... and to all the folks that are outthere rescueing climbers, as well, so that their families can continue to love and enjoy them.... :)

number of pitches is often wrong for the new routes, and for several old ones (it assigns "1" pitch to routes where a count is not given)
Let us know!
