1This category includes bouldering, as well as artificial climbing walls, buildings, and so forth. These are also added to the count of each state and province, but not to the total count, though that error has been made in previous years.
2Under Central last year, four (4) deaths were listed in this table. There were zero (0) deaths, so the totals have been changed in this table. The total of five (5) deaths in Wyoming is correct.
(Editor’s Note: The Practice Cliffs category has been removed from the U.S. data and replaced with Artificial Walls.)
