Car Nack has spoken.
Some background information here. Taking a look at qualifying results from 2010 we find that:

- Israel had 1 successful hang: http://www2.usfirst.org/2010comp/Eve.../rankings.html
- Utah had 2 successful hangs: http://www2.usfirst.org/2010comp/Eve.../rankings.html
- Oregon had 3 successful hangs: http://www2.usfirst.org/2010comp/Eve.../rankings.html

Before someone asks, Number of Hangs = Hanging Points / (2*3), because hangs were were worth two points, and the entire alliance got credit for each successful hang performed by the alliance members.

Considering the difference in difficulty between hanging in 2010 and climbing in 2013, I think that Car Nack is definitely on the right track. (Of course Climbing is weighted significantly higher compared to the other game tasks than Hanging was to the game tasks of 2010)
