Climb Name Type Grade # Ascents Recorded Notes Exclude Reason
Pungitopo Sport route 8c+ 4
Rainman Sport route 9b 4

The first 9b in the UK and the hardest route climbed by a Brit at the time it was first climbed.

The route starts up Rainshadow before breaking slightly rightward to join and finish up Bat Route. Breakdown is roughly 8a/+ (Raindogs without grabbing the chains) to 8A to 8c+.

Raubritter Sport route 8c 4
RED Sport route 9a 4

The first 9a in Australia (if you ignore The Wheel of Life). Lee Cossey spent some time working the route while it was a project but it had to wait for a visiting Alex Megos to seal the deal in 2013.

Red Ram Sport route 9a+ 4
Resisting Arrest Sport route 9a 4
Revelations Sport route 8b 4
Rollito Sharma Sport route 8b+ 4
Route of All Evil Sport route 8b+ 4
Rude Boys Sport route 8a+ 4
Sabotage Sport route 8c+ 4
Sachidananda Sport route 9a+ 4
Sardine Sport route 7b+ 4

Ron Fawcett's free ascent of this route marked the start of the change of Raven Tor from an aid climbing crag to a free climbing crag.

Sea of Tranquility Sport route 8c+ 4

Originally graded 8c, now considered to be 8c+.

There is a variation out left that bypasses the font 8A crux sequence and makes the route ‘only’ 8c (the grade it was originally given).

Sever The Wicked Hand Sport route 9a 4
Show Your Teeth Sport route 9a 4
Silence Sport route 9c 4

Silence was established by Adam Ondra in 2017. It was the first route to be graded 9c and is still a contender for the hardest sport climb in the world. Bolted by Ondra and originally dubbed Project Hard, it features a notoriously strange boulder problem crux with feet-first jamming through a slopey crack. Ondra rated this section alone 8C, whilst Will Bosi and Stefano Ghisolfi thought 8C+ was more appropriate.

Bosi and Stefano Ghisolfi have put serious time into trying to repeat the route, with both climbers linking the crux section.
