My hardest routes on rock...
Being a dutch climber it´s not at all easy to climb a lot in the rocks, because Holland doesn´t have any crags. That´s why I don´t live there anymore. Today I live in Innsbruck in Austria, where every mountainside has a few crags to climb on. As often as possible, I look for the nicest areas, and the coolest routes.
Beneath you can see a small ticklist first, which says how many routes of which grade I did, and then there is a list of the toughest stuff I climbed.

take a look in the section about climbing for the explanation of terms like redpoint, on sight, flash etc..

Overall
8a and harder | ~300 routes, Dutch proud record holder :)

My hardest boulders...
Also bouldering I like very much, what provoced lots of trips to Fontaine bleau, and also in Austria there is plenty of boulders to do. Crags like ´Zillertal´, or ´Magic wood´, are only one to two hours away from me. Sadly I don´t go bouldering very often, but once in a while it a great feeling to search the nicest boulders with a copple of friends in a big forest. Overall I did more than 60 boulders in the french 7th grade, here are a few of the hardest:

Grit list
English Grit stone remains a different story, no single bolt to be seen, only trad climbing, and also the climbing itlsef has a style of its own. Danger is omnipresent, it becomes a metal game. The higher the E grade, the higher the potential for hasardous or deadly falls. After the E grade, there's the normal grade, but an english 6c is not a french 6c, but might be a hard boulder 10 meter above the ground with no protection...

E7

๏ Paralogism, E7 6c, The roaches, ON SIGHT!!!
๏ Shine on, E7 6c, Stanage

E6

๏ Painted rumour, E6 6a, The roaches, on sight
๏ Narcissus, E6 6b, Frogatt, on sight solo
๏ Wall of sound, E6 6b, Stanage, on sight
๏ Nosferatu, E6 6b, Burbage south
๏ Ulysses, E6 6b, Stanage, solo
