Scarface | 8b+ Sport route at Smith Rock


The first 14a/8b+ established by an American (Scott Franklin) in the US. There is debate about the grade with some suggesting 8b (or 13d).

See also Scott Cosgrove's ascent of New Deal and Franklin's own Planet Claire, both redpointed not long before Scarface.
