Chouca Sport route 8a+ 11
Marathon Sport route 8b 11

First 8b route in Norway.
Revelations (Pre-1999) Sport route 8a+ 11

One of the first sport routes in the UK to be climbed in 'red point' style, where the moves were practised before the final ascent. Prior to this routes were more typically climbed onsight or in yoyo style where pre-practicing the moves wasn't allowed.

Originally given E7 7a. Early on the lip of a pocket on the route fell off making the route harder. Jerry Moffatt attempted to repair the hold but the repair quickly failed. Jerry re-climbed it with the pocket in the worse state. Around the same time Mark Pretty also applied some sika to the back of the pocket to try and reduce seepage.
Victimes del Futur Sport route 9a 11

Originally given 8c/+ repeat ascenionists then suggested 8c+. Around 2018/2019 some holds broke on the crux and it is now considered more 9a.

Hugh Sport route 9a 10

La Cabane au Canada Sport route 9a 10
La Furia de Jabali Sport route 9a+ 10
Lucifer Sport route 8c+ 10
Necessary Evil Sport route 8c+ 10

The first 8c+ in America established by an American, the soon to be famous Chris Sharma. Jim Thornburg writing in Climbing magazine #168:

Speed worked on the sick-looking direct start and reckoned that an ascent of the entire route would be like climbing two 5.14a's back-to-back. After a finger injury put Speed out of commission, it seemed likely that the route would gather cobwebs until some visiting Euro arrived to snake yet another American testpiece. [1]
