The Olympics have had impact also on the rock climbing

4sport.ua has published some interesting 9a+ to 9c stats. From the diagram we can see a strong increasing trend of more ascents although there was a drop the last two years of 9a+ ascents. One reason for this could be that many top climbers did not have time to focus on the rock as there were busy qualifying for Tokyo. In the second diagram, we see how superior Adam Ondra is. He has done 66 routes 9a+ and harder which can be compared with Chris Sharma and Alex Megos with 22 and 20 respectively.
