Morbid topic

I've made some cursory checks and can't find any estimates of rock climbing fatalities per 100,000 climber days on Web.

 

Any figures would be suspect, I suppose, and I'm not interested in including mountaineering accidents -- just cragging.

 

For skiing, by way of comparison, I found something suggesting 1 fatality per 1.4 million skier days.

 

I also found something on Wikipedia suggesting 50,000 annual climber days at Gunks. (Not sure about that, but it sounds somewhat plausible). That might suggest 1:150,000 or something around there, based on the last five years or so... This sounds rather high....Anybody know something more definite or care to speculate?

Wow, that's a long year.
