2019 is the first year of the Register, and forms a base-line for future years.  A total of 37 people participated in the Register this year, with many recording poly-bagging of multiple hills.  The Register contains 114 entries for 2019.

Two types of poly-bagger emerge.  The first type concentrate on one or two peaks, putting up as great a number of multiple ascents as their circumstances allow.  The second type concentrate on rounds of peaks, which may involve a number of different peaks bagged on the same day.

The most popular poly-bagging peaks in 2019 were:

·       Moel Fama, 554.8m, P278m (Wales, UK)  – 3 entries

·       Ben Cleuch 725m, P595m (Scotland, UK) – 3 entries.

There were no peaks in the USA with over two entries, and none elsewhere in the world with over one entry.  This reflects the esoteric nature of poly-bagging.

The most notable poly-bagger in the updated Progress Register is Larry Davis, whose remarkable efforts on Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire, USA are legendary.  For more information on Larry's achievements, see at:
