Edit - In looking through the list nobody got credit for those other 3 FA's, the ones I am looking at are PT 7215 (with Kiefer Thomas) on 4/30/08, PT 8184A on 5/3/08 and PT 9732A on 5/31/08. Thanks.
Mike,
Part of the problem is people aren't validating their dates. Kiefer didn't validate his dates for 7215 and 9732 A, so there isn't a way to distinguish whether he was first or you were. I updated his dates so you get credit for those. 9732 A also shows Mike Garratt, where he logged it 7/23/08, but we don't know when he climbed it. This metric can be kind of frustrating, because you could be first, but someone could do the peak later in the year and if they don't validate when they did it, no one gets credit for a first ascent (there is no way to tell if they did it today, yesterday, or two years ago... All we know is they logged it into the system on x date, not when they climbed it).
I suppose one solution to this is to use the earliest date that is validated, but then we get into all the peaks Mike Garratt has already done that others will get credit for (Mike hasn't validated dates and I don't expect him to since that is over 3000 peaks).
