The other thing that annoys me is when they start talking about being the first Ukranian-Canadian from Saskatchewan to summit on a Tuesday. I think credit should be limited to the first man and woman to succeed and from there should only go to those who have done something legitimately new, like a unique new route up the mountain or maybe setting a speed record or being the first to summit in the winter or solo.

I totally agree, specifically with the "first" of a tiny little sub-group part. It just seems to diminish the act in my eyes if you need to qualify why its supposedly important.
