How many 9a_or_more people?

I guess it's not that exclusive as it used to be e.g. 5-10 years ago. Many people are climbing hard stuff nowadays. There was a massive development during the last century. Just in my personal opinion.

Ok, but did anyone count how many people in the world has climbed 9a or harder? Thirty?

Acording to 8a.nu there are 43. 16 of them with more than one 9a ascent. 7 climbers with 3 or more ascents One with 6 ascents.

That's impressive.
