Sources & methodology
- Source
- Mountain Project: Indian Creek
- Geographic scope
- The Indian Creek hierarchy in San Juan County, Utah.
- Observation window
- –, inclusive. Counts use the recorded climbing date.
- Snapshot collected
- (UTC). This is a frozen snapshot, not a live feed.
- Route eligibility
- 850 routes from the frozen source inventory with official average ratings of at least 3 on Mountain Project’s 4-point scale, across the included grades and climbing types.
- Counting
- Sum the source’s dated tick records by route and calendar month. Routes with at least one record count once per month and once across the full window. All displayed records are retained; a tick does not necessarily mean a successful ascent or a unique visitor.
- Record visibility
- 12,643 public records and 1,659 dated private placeholders. Private placeholders contribute only anonymous monthly counts.
- Coverage limits
- Every route in the frozen eligible inventory was checked. This does not establish that every source record or real-world climb was collected.
- Unmapped routes
- 0 routes without map coordinates contribute 0 records to these totals. They are retained in the analysis.
Logging habits, source popularity, route selection and a single year’s conditions all affect these counts. Totals from different sources and destinations should not be treated as comparable measures of climbing traffic.
