Has anyone ticked all MP Top 20 Classic Climbs?

Has anyone ticked all Top 20 Classic Climbs?  

Obviously these aren't the real top 20 because it doesn't include my local 4-star choss, but It'd be a proud achievement nonetheless.  

I've done 7. 

I've done half of the ones on the east coast!

7 here as well, virtually all from the easier 1/2 of the list---and, though not having done it, I probably shouldn't say, but I don't see how Liberty Ridge gets listed as the easiest!!! Maybe in terms of rock climbing grades---but Liberty Ridge IS NOT a classic because of it's rock climbing!!!!--definitely the most 'serious' of the listed climbs.

Separately, I am on a personal mission to tick and redpoint all the 11s and 12s at my local crag, only a handful of 11s left. I hope people one person notices one day and asks themselves WTF is wrong with that dude.

7 as well. 

Proposal to make it the top 19 because if you tick Moonlight as a free climb you should get credit for the duplicate wall-style ascent. Obviously the corollary doesn't hold. Probably a more fun lifetime objective than the 50 classics, but I've only done 3 of these so what do I know.

That list is pretty jacked: Moonlight is on there twice, Half Dome has 2 routes (having done both, neither is all that except for summiting HD) but El Cap only has 1?

@Reboot: the problems are many with this list and you've got to accept it's faults. I mean, ancient art is on there ffs. That route, in ideal conditions with no other climbers in the entire basin, is pretty forgettable. If you include the exciting safety protocols often found on that route, it's another level entirely (though that's hardly the fault of the mud pile)

7 total… #s 2-7 and #12 (before the rockfall)

Poor Flyboys. It's like it knows it doesn't belong and is finally just like, eff it, I'll admit defeat.

Follow up semi unanswerable question: which of these routes do we think gets the most traffic? The least?

I'd assume Snake Dike and High Exposure are the contenders for the most trafficked.

High E, definitely!

Snake Dike is seasonal and has a healthy approach and is a LONG day!

High E 1st and Corrugation Corner 2nd would be my thoughts on the busiest.

16, maybe 17 as I can’t recall Corrugation Corner - all those routes at the Leap look the same to me in my memory. 

If you expand that same list - 39 or 40.

…and about 30 ish of the 50 Classics - lol.

Sorry you didn’t tick them on MP, looks like you’ll have to start over.

Maybe some photo evidence?!

Otherwise, start over with GoPro to fully document!

Photos of about 16 of the 20 - and I corrected my 50 Classics count to 30 after checking.

Been playing with R, so did a little quick scraping on public ticks - code here ( pastebin.com/iFjUQMRj)

From what I can tell, max ticked is 13?! Seems a little surprising nobody has more than that, so maybe I did something wrong.

The three winners, at 13 each

Your assumption that people 1) are MP users 2) those who are MP users keep a tick list is what you did wrong.  I would venture to say that there is a person who has done all 20. In the big scheme of things who it is does not matter as long as they had fun.
