Interesting data. I'd be curious what the definitions are of "climbing" versus "hiking" as they roll-up the numbers. Is climbing based on technical routes versus established trails, or do winter conditions come in to play? If you head up the MMWT in January with full winter climbing gear and have to be SARed, is that a hike or a climb? As with most statistics, the devil is in the details. It seems to me that it would be a very fine line in many cases whether a hiker was climbing or a climber was hiking since they're so closely related.
