The old time First Ascent heroes?

Who has put up the most repeted/the classic hard core routes and boulders in the world? We all know that Dani Andrada has been like a robot with his Hilti for 15 years and the same goes for Fred Nicole and his brush. The other most active hard core guys in the 90-ies and the 80-ies might be: Jacky Godoffe, Alex Huber, Wolfgang Gullich, Ron Kauk, Lynn Hill, Tony Yaniro, JB Tribout, Ben Moon, Patrick Edlinger, Marc Menestrel. Any more names of old time hard core FA heroes? (Later we will also start looking for the heroes who has put up the most repeated boulder/routes from the 8a scorecard)./J
