Talk:List of grade milestones in rock climbing

Free solo ascents
This section focuses on multipitch milestone ascents. Other parts of the article focus on single pitch grade milestones. NB that single pitch free solos have been done at much harder grades than the 7c+ for Freerider. Dave McCleod has a video of him doing an 8b single pitch free solo, redpointed. Also Alain Robert free solod 8b in 1991. There are probably others too I don't know this discipline very well. 86.18.122.60 (talk) 09:29, 7 September 2023 (UTC)


 * There is a whole section on List of grade milestones in rock climbing for single pitch free solos (and the current hardest grade is 8c+). It also includes Mccleod's free solo which was one tought to be 8c, but is now 8b+. It also has Robert's 8b solo of Compilation which was in 1993. Hope that helps.

The image of Alex Honnold appears to be of his solo ascent of Excellent Adventure at The Rostrum, not El Capitan. An appropriate image should be sourced and substituted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.151.230.28 (talk) 17:04, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Sleeping Lion
An IP keeps adding "Sleeping Lion" to the 9b+ section even though it is not one of the first four 9b+ routes in history (and not even the fifth or sixth or seventh, but is probably roughly the 10th 9b+ route in history. Aszx5000 (talk) 10:37, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
