There might be harder ones but
Sport
Bristol's Got talent 8c

Heaven Sent Direct E7
Spiritualise E7
Bouldering
Tombstone f7c

Some of your new ones might be in the HXS bracket though!

If eliminates count there's a few hard things in Gollums Cave. Thumb wars comes to mind at 8A.
In reply to remus:

nah, not eliminates, they are not proper

How about traverses then?

Both Every Smile You Fake (E8 6b without siderunners) and Train in the Distance (no bolt = E7/8) are harder than Heaven Sent Direct

Bouldering wise, The Prince above pads is ~7C? http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=32176

This is missing a hold and hasn't been climbed since '02 - would probably be E7 7a now? http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=32141 (For would be suitors - the first peg only goes in 3/4"!!)

Only E7 but as far as I know Level Headed still has n't had a clean 2nd ascent. I guess it's probably one of the harder multi-pitch climbs in the area.
