I'm looking for records in a day. Any info is appreciated. Here is what I know of, some of which I sure have been bested.

Routes/pitches in a day, any style (solo, of course): 543 (the english guys that totaled over 1,000 between them)

Trad pitches in a day (roped) - anyone best 3 el cap routes (60-ish)?

Trad pitches in a day (roped and free climbed) - ?

Sport pitches in a day (falls don't count) - 68 (someone must have done more)

Led pitches in a day - ?

Boulder problems in a day - 400

Pitches in a day in Yosemite - ?

Pitches in Josh - 280*

Routes in Arapiles (all 'hard' and solo), probably 5.10 and up - 110

5.12s - 35

5.13s - ?

5.14s - ?

Please spare me the "climbing is beauty and art and not about numbers blah blah..." i'm already aware of that fact and have meditated twice today, so far. But I'm also psyched to hear what folks out there are doing.

Derek Hersey Free soloed 3 routes on the diamond (longs peak) one morning. (1 up, 1 down, 1 up again) 5.11, 5.10, 5.11+. over 30 pitches at 13,000 ft with no water, food, anything really, except shorts, shoes, a t-shirt, and chalk

yeah, i remember that. in fact, i was talking about it yesterday. definitely some sort of record. friggin' amazing day out.

anyone remember the day croft had in yosemite when he solo'd most of the middle-sized formations? i can't remember it, exactly, but he did the spires, cathedrals, sentinel, and a bunch of more obscure stuff, like arrowhead arete. it was a big day.

Croft doing the 4 big ones on Temple crag is a pretty big day.

Actually he had a small amount of water and a couple of hostess "snowballs".....

A couple of people have done the the "big 3' in The black canyon: Southern arete of the painted wall, Astro Dog on south chasm view, The scenic cruise on North chasm view....one hell of a day. Gotta be around 50 pitch's...
