They're probably too busy climbing/adventuring, but I wondered if people like Tommy Caldwell or Alex Honnold or Steph Davis, etc., have ever bothered to post up or sign up on MP. In any case, I'm sure they would have a lot of information to add to the project's database.

I've seen John Long post, but that's the only one I can think of.

And, Mason Earle, actually.

Of anyone I would rather see Pamela Pack post some info about all the crazy OW stuff she does. But honestly that stuff is for the birds (or reddit to be exact).

I seem to recall Steph Davis posting a few years back.

I consider folks like Steve Levin, Mic Fairchild, John Strand, Paul Ross, Fred Knapp, Jason Haas, Beth Bennet, Mike and Mark Anderson and many others to be celebrities.

I imagine it might be hard for heavily sponsored climbers to get involved in the MP ruckus without running the risk of alienating their sponsors, so can't really blame them for not participating. Plus, as you say, they are probably out climbing while most of us are at work.

Sam Lightner posts frequently! He's probably not the type of celeb you're referring to but I bet 3/4 of the tower anchors I've rapped off have been his so he's a celeb amongst my group of climbing partners.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to go for this low-hanging fruit. :)

Congratulations!

Yeah, I pondered it, too. Almost pulled the trigger, but thought "that's too easy." Thanks for taking one for the team.

Not only do climbing celebs post on some of these forums, but if you aren't careful you'll become friends with them and next thing you know you are helping them build a retaining wall. Seriously. Be careful out there with those famous climbing people and their friendship! OMG.

Really, dude, they are just people. Say hello and offer them a beer sometime.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
