I've got about the same stats as you but if I were to max out pull ups right now it would maybe be... 12? Maybe.

This sounds like another one of 8a's ridiculous corollaries. That having been said, .11a and 25.

um....
12.c and 20
and i can do a one arm.
I don't think pull ups really matter to your climbing once you get past 10 or so. one arms might matter. who knows....

I've redpointed up to 13a, onsighted up to 12a and can do 30-35 pull-ups. Don't think it's related at all, maybe with bouldering a little, but not so much with routes. Also, I don't train pull-ups, it's just what i can do because of strength I've gained from doing other things, most notably climbing.

I redpointed a 12a once... consistently rp 11c, onsite 11a, and i'm not really sure about pullups but i doubt i could do 20... maybe not even 15.
I've climbed harder than 12a in Thailand but those are holiday grades.

15 is the absolute max but most of the time it's around 12.
I can climb low .12 fairly consistently, with os being somewhere in the .11's.

RP 5.12b, OS 5.12b (when soft enough), 30 pull-ups in a row. 100 when doing series of 10 every minute for 10 min.
Just doing pull-ups to my maximum didn't help much. Doing series helped a lot with endurance.

OS 11d, RP 12a/b flash v6, project v8/9 pullups 10-15
There is really no correlation between climbing hard and pullups. finger strength and technique are so much more important than raw strength.

For me there has been a direct correlation between climbing level and pullup/lockoff strength. When I was climbing my best a couple years ago, I could do well over 20 pullups in a set, and more importantly, I could do one-armed dead hang lockoffs for around ten seconds on each arm. This was also as close as I ever got to doing a one-armed pullup.
However, this is not to say that I specifically trained pullups, and then went and climbed hard. It was more the other way around, actually.
Right now, I onsight around 11+/12- and can do around 10 pullups.

Currently 12-13 pullups, best ever 17 but that was when I was training pullups.
Moderately consistent at 5.13d (rp)
Training pullups just makes you better at doing pullups, but I think my shoulders would probably be in better health if I did more pullups as part of a general conditioning program.

I wouldn't recommend going nuts with any exercise.
There's good evidence that as part of a conditioning program they can be good for shoulder health.

This thread has been done before.
The question should be how many pull ups can you do with your feet.....I bet the best climbers are the ones that have the best balance and the strongest feet. I would imagine dudes that are climbing 14a can crack walnuts with their toes.

I agree, I would be somewhat interested in how weight you could stack on and do one pull-up...then what you are bouldering at.

I've cranked one w/ ~120lb body hanging off my shoulder, and I can do a couple one armed. I only pull off a V5/V6 if I'm lucky.
I think the more curious question is: what's your trad grade vs the # of cock push-ups you can do?

I climb harder when my pull up strength is better...or I've got less weight to pull up.
My stats are similar to many of yours in terms of difficulty (assuming you're talking hardest sends, not consistant OS ability), but I can only do a few pull-ups. (2-6, low end being when it's the end of a work out and I'm wearing my fat pants)
I've found that I'm likely to injure my self if I don't do them slowly and keep the load on my muscles; not sinking into my joints at all. I often only do 1-3 when I've very warm at the end of the night and try to do the up to a 10 count and the down to a 10 count. Somehow it's the stoppping and starting that is the hardest, and trying to stay really smooth minimizes the impact of the transition.

While I agree about the finger strength, there actually is a correlation between PU and OS level of the posts in this thread. R squared value is pretty low however, so It's not much of a story.

One question : what is the difference between doing a larger number of pullups,but fast, and doing a smaller number of pullups,but taking more time to lower your upper body? which one is to be recommended?

There is no relation between redpoint levels and the number of pullups reported in this thread. See my analysis here, if you are interested.

I recently knocked out 28 deadhang pullups in a row before, and I can do a single rep with 110-120# hanging around my waist (6'2", 185#)
But as for climbing, maybe redpoint hard 10 or easy 11?
I feel no correlation whatsoever. It has helped with bouldering sit-starts and dynamic moves (especially bouldering), but little else. I believe in Jay's little study, even if it isn't purely scientific. My guess is that after the "basic strength" threshhold or 8 or 10 pullups, the rest has no incremental effect on climbing at all.

V8/9.
Don't know current max # pullups as I don't train them anymore - used to be able to do 40.
Can pull off 2-3 one arm pullups on a good day.
Being able to hold a strong lock-off at different angles is very useful when climbing. Doing endless pullups is not.

Pullups do not matter with redpoints and onsights.
Strength to weight ratios are what really matter.

Too those who think that pullup strength has nothing to do with the grade you climb. Well, I say your dead fucking wrong. How can someone honestly say otherwise. Maybe it is more dependent on the type of route, overhanginw/ whatever. I can do 20 Deadhangs, flashed a 12b couple days ago(probably easier) but I can normally flash 11's no problem

Maybe it is more dependent on the type of route, overhanginw/ whatever. I can do 20 Deadhangs, flashed a 12b couple days ago(probably easier) but I can normally flash 11's no problem

I'm sure there are a lot of climbers out there that can climb crazy hard but not be able to do a bunch of pull ups in a row. That's cause if you can make good use of your feet...then that can be 70% of the work on a climb.

This could be true. So my squatting may be useful after all. By the way I just again increased my pull ups by another pull. Now I expect my redpoint to be 2 points higher. I can not wait.

I can do 1.
lol.
I can do more if I use my arms facing towards me rather than forwards, harder when arms are facing away to pull up.
Press ups I do after a run to help with climbing, but climbing and bouldering is what I find helps the most.

They matter to a very very limited extent. As somebody noted earlier, it's all about strength to weight ratios not about how many pull-ups you can do.
So in all honesty, if you are training and doing tons of body-weight pull-ups and for some reason you specifically train to be able to do a lot of pull-ups; you should really think about adding some weight.
Although, I would take a hang board routine focusing more on finger strength than just pull-ups any day.

Honestly, I don't even bother doing bw pull-ups anymore because it's just boring...It's easy for me to do ~25 wait 40 seconds and then repeat several times. I have started going to the gym again and was able to do 3 sets of 8 with 80lbs strapped to my waist (I weigh 170)...This was even after heavy Db rows, Pullovers, Straight-arm pulldowns, Upright Rows, Cable x-overs, and Heavy Db shrugs...so i wasn't exactly fresh either.
As far as climbing goes...I'm just starting to break into the 5.12a domain. I redpointed 2 routes just last week, but I have to admit that I spent a lot of time obsessing over and studying those routes. I would say I'm a solid 5.11+ climber.
Apparently according to lifting calculators, my one-rep max for Lat Pull Downs should be 310 which is 182% of my bw...and I seem to remember another thread that mentioned that that's around what 5.13+ climbers can do. ...So I guess I have no excuses right.

I agree about the hangboard routine. I have a little routine I do after climbing in the gym that consist of dead hangs on my fingers, pull ups and leg lifts.. This has really helped core and forearm strength. I was kind of at a plateau with v3's so I started the hangboard training, all of the sudden I can climb V4's and some 5's...
But yea, I can crank 15 to 20 solid pull ups and boulder a solid v4(my footwork still blows ).

I think pull ups have a bigger effect on bouldering than full climbs. However I think they can also help you survive hard climbs(assuming you have the finger strength, or else you'll just be flying up those 5.7s.)
Back on point,
15-20 pull ups on rock rings(rarely used),
onsight somewhere in 5.11,
boulder v7ish,
but I think the pull ups are a result of climbing, not the other way around. I rarely use those rock rings.

I agree with this completely. My brother and I are completely different builds, I weigh 150 and he weighs 210. So whenever we refer to strength its always climbing strength or actual strength.I have more climbing strength because I weigh less, I can do many more pull-ups, and climb better. But he can lift more dead weight then me, so it is all about strength to weight ratio.

my pullups are pure plasma.
In fact, I'm doing one arms, while I type with the other hand.
I don't know how hard I'm climbing, I'm still awaiting the second ascent for confirmation.
