It takes at minimum ~20 people and new sites are scouted well in advance to make sure they have sufficient resources to support a growing population.

I guess the argument here would be that the scouts are the risk-takers, which would be true to some extent. But it's not like successful scouts worked alone, and also there's no "discovery" happening in the context of free solo climbing.
