I have been looking at the summits and rock climbs achieved in past ten years,  I have found websites that are quoting things like the top ten.  I thought what did others think were the achievements in Mountaineering & climbing in the past 10 years.

Mazeno Ridge on Nanga Parbat

Freerider Solo

Skyline Traverse in Patagonia

Dawn Wall

Those are the obvious ones to me, the other Piolets d'Or winners also deserve to be recognised as will many other achievements.

Well if you read the national press, you would have to consider "14 8000's in three months" 

A lot of people here would disagree.

I would as well but K2 in winter was something that needed doing.

Otherwise the niches and projects that make these lists seem to be about going further, faster or more extreme and generating more clicks, which seems the wrong ethos to me. Can you tell I'm not a fan of 'top 10's?!

The completion on the same day of two outstanding projects on Cerro Torre? I suppose that's two achievements. Overshadowed, of course, by the very sad aftermath. The SE Ridge 'By Fair Means' and Lama's free ascent fall outside the specified ten years.
