14a Punks In The Gym at Australia’s Mt. Arapiles.  First done back in 1985, Punks was likely the hardest route in the world at the time, and it has remained a difficult challenge even if it is “only” 5.

14a.

Smith-Gobat worked the route over the course of three years before clipping the chains:

Clipping the chains on this route felt amazing – It meant more to me than I ever thought it would. I had almost expected this moment to be an anti-climax, because I had spent so much time on this route. But it was the opposite – I was in disbelief, totally ecstatic and could not sleep at all that night because I was still so excited…  I just kept staring at the full moon repeating to myself “I just climbed Punks! – Its done…”
