Reference table
Every 9a+, V15 and E10 climb with a free film
This table lists every route and boulder in the library at or above a fixed bar: 9a+ (5.15a) for sport routes, big walls and deep water solos, 8C (V15) for boulder problems, and for trad either E10 or 5.14a (8b+). The trad bar is lower on purpose, because gear-protected climbs at that grade are rarer than bolted ones. Grades are the ones on the route records, shown in both French and YDS, or Font and V for boulders. The rows are generated from the route and film index at request time, so when a film is added or a grade changes on a route page, this table changes with it. Nothing here is maintained by hand. Each row links to the route page, which has the history and its sources, and to every film in the library that shows the climb. Every film is embedded from the channel that made it and is free to watch.
23 of the 95 routes in the library are 9a+, V15 or E10 or harder; 23 of them have a film that is free to watch.
