How many climbers in the US and worldwide?

This question must come up all the time, but I can't seem to find much info. I found one article that guestimated around 500K active climbers in the US. The Outdoor Foundation Outdoor Recreation Report for 2014 says that in 4.7MM people participated in sport/indoor/bouldering in 2013. A participant is anyone who has done the activity at least once. The report says ~2.1MM did trad/ice/mountaineering in past years (has 6MM for 2013 but this has got to be wrong).

 

It would be interesting to know the specific breakout too, i.e. ice, rock, etc.
