Well you made me look it up. I have 83000 ft climbing this year over 1800 miles. Climbing is a side thing for me, I'm predominantly a time trialist.
Last weekend, I managed 4000 ft over 28 miles on the MTB. When I mentioned this to my husband, his response was: yeah but half the time youre going downhill doing diddly squat.
