According to a website about the 14ers, overe 200,000 people a year climb them.
Did I ask you what the total for all 14ers were? No. I asked you what the total number were on the site you mentioned?
A lot more don't finish the hike. And the climbers are not evenly distributed - there are 54 peaks in Colorado over 14,000 feet, and I would venture to guess (anotherwords you still don't know) that in excess of 25,000 people a year climb popular peaks such as Longs, Bierstadt, Grays, Torreys and Elbert. So if five percent have to go during the hike (it can take over eight hours to climb some peaks, with over half that time spent above timberline), that's 1,250 per climbing season per five peaks which averages out at 250 a year per peak. And these wouldn't be deposited in the same place. Perhaps half of them wouldn't even be buried above the timberline. The amount may even be higher - if you want to climb Longs Peak, for example, you need to start about 3 or 4 am to be back below timberline before noon, when the thunderstorms can kick in - ya don't want to be above timberline with lightning flashing about. Folks are generally more prone to have to go earlier in the morning.
Thunderstorms? You mean it rains? You main the soil may not be as hard as you were claiming? You mean stuff could be burried? You mean we've been wasting our time dicussing this issue under a false premise for the most part? Duh!
I'm curious - if it rains in a parking lot, does that somehow make the ashphalt less hard? I'm gonna quit now. No point in attempting a logical discussion with someone as impervious to logic as granite is to rainfall.
