The most ascents of the same route by an individual is 10,000, achieved by Ken Nichols (USA) on a climb called "Dol Guldur" – a 5.11 route at Traprock in Connecticut, USA. Nichols first climbed the route in 1975 and made his 10,000th climb on 26 February 2012 at the age of 63.
Nichols has climbed this route so many times because its east-facing location shelters it from the worst of the region's winter weather. He has said that likes the route for its sustained and consistent level of difficulty.
