Punks in the Gym Sport route 8b+ 11

One of the first 8b+s in the world. Possibly slightly easier now than for Güllich and Glowacz since the construction of the birdbath hold subsequent to their ascents.

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.
