Cobra Crack E9 Aid 1980s
First ascent.
The Shadow E7 Lead | onsight 1988
First ascent.

Peter onsighted the crux pitch, though having done pitches nearby previously there is some discussion about how onsight it was [1]. On balance, it seems likely that he had little to no knowledge of the pitch before setting off.
