Only done one, this year... I climbed Lost with Calder Stratford, His brother Travis and Enoch Palmer. Trav and Enoch had never done a multi-pitch route before. It was super fun. Calder had not done any climbing in 6 years prior to this route!!! He has been busy sailing and flying airplanes.
Calder has been up the Captain a lot of times. He was doing routes like The Sea when he was in high school!
The Captain has me mesmerized. I will be back many times to come. Thanks for all the great photos and stories!

thought i would bump this one.
i believe the top 3 for different routes is
1) steve gerberding with 57 or so
2) erik erikson with around 50
3) ammon mcneely with upper 40's
i'm not sure about 2 or 3, just that gerby is in the lead
as for most ascents(ie repeats count)
1) Hans Florine 142(i believe)
2) Steve Gerberding 109
3 Steve Schneider 108
yes, i am just one behind steve gerberding, although we are NOT in a competion with each other and are trying to coordinate to do our 110th ascent together. shipoopoi

i'm at 109 ascents, tied with steve gerberding. he did on the waterfront solo for 109, probably third ascent and first solo. i just did genesis for my 109, probably third ascent and first solo also. second ascent, of course was by steve and wife cal. i knew i couldn't just do a cheap lap on the Fear to tie him, it had to be something good. hopefully steve and i can get together to do 110 tegether, it would bwe our first el cap route together, shipoopoi

Gads - way overdue on this one. After Virginia last spring, Kate and I climbed Bad Seed. Then this fall we climbed Octopussy.
So that's 39 El Cap routes, and 401 nights on the Big Stone, not counting base or summit bivis.
I'll post up some pics when I get a chance.

Still stuck at four (Zodiac, Shield, PO Wall, West Face)... :(
Alas, with another kid due at the end of the summer, that's not likely to change soon.

Did the nose 1 1/3 times in the 70's, too young. Put my hand in a turd, slept in some butt bags, backed off some 5.7 pitch near the top. Scared me all the way to 2015. Bill Price was a man at 15.

Nice list, Deucey, even if they're a quarter-century out of date. Why don't you drive your wheelchair up to the base and have another go? Just try not to run over your long grey beard, eh?
Where are you at these days, anyway?

One ascent of El Cap is all one needs.
Any more then that and you're not normal.
