From 6a to 9b: first ascents in sport climbing history

The following list is NOT finished (and maybe there are mistakes).

It can be be finished just with Your help.

So, if You know some other routes, dates, climbers, crags, if You like to share Your informations, links, (maybe an old photo ?), videos, ... , You are very welcome:
just write them as a comment and the list will be updated.

It could be a dream even a few words comment from the first ascent climbers, in their language or in english.


Thank You in advance.
