It occurred to me that the following is almost a really good ticklist:

• The Sun (E3 5c)
• Mercury (E2 5b)
• Venus (HVS 5a)
• Mars (E2 5b)
• Neptune (E3 5c)
• Pluto (HVS 5a)

However I'm struggling to fill in the gaps! Those routes all seem to be classics, so it would be a shame to include something naff like Uranus (3c), but I'm drawing a blank trying to find good routes for the rest of the planets. Can anyone suggest routes for the remaining planets?

Ideally I'd like the routes to be quite good so that ticking the list is quite appealing (and ideally possible), so creative suggestions, obscure mythological references, names in other languages, or names like "Jupiter's Wall" are all good. Also I think The Moon (E3 5c) has a place there, so any other moons are all welcome.

Asking quite a lot I know, but thought it might at least provide of bit of good discussion. Thanks in advance!

Gaia?

There are Jupiter's 4 largest moons on st govans East and Deimos on eagle crag Buttermere. 

Although I've just noticed there are multiple Deimos & Europa routes etc all over the place so it will keep you busy

Plus milky way at Ilkley, or is that too big 😃

You might also want to set the controls for the Heart of the Sun.

Beware the fate of Icarus (HVS 5a)

Star Trek E2 5c  Symonds Yat.

Phobos and Deimos at Glenmarksie. Nice but not uber classic.

In a galaxy, far, far away ...

Star Wars (E4 5c)

Callisto (HVS 5b)

Ganymede (E1 5b)

I enjoyed climbing them.

A route of my own, Fury 161 (E1 5b), which wasnt as scary as the planet.

'The planet's exact location was kept classified by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation for security reasons.'

Boulder Ruckle keeps on giving!

The Planet (E3 5c)

Children of the Sun (E2 5b)

Dark Side of the Sun (E1 5b)

Jugs in Space (E4 6a)

Sirius (E3 5b)

There's absolutely loads to go at at that theme at Mother Careys e.g. Deep Space (E2 5b)

Eclipse (VS 4b) on Lundy is a classic VS, though I would say it fitting the Solar System theme would be a bit of a push.

Craig Fach in the Moelwynion has a number of "astronomical"  routes in the lower grade. Mars, Orion, Andromeda and Milky Way... Probably others as well.

Astral Stroll (E1 5b)

Beyond the Azimuth (E1 5b)

What about winter routes? Several classic examples on The Ben ….

Always the Sun at Stackpole. 

Hollow Earth (HVS 5a) at Trowbarrow.

Check out the Sampson Stones in Upper Eskdale for a ton of spacey names

Galactic, not solar, but The Andromeda Strain (IV 4), though I was thinking of the Rockies ultra classic, not the Cairngorms. 
 

* Edited to get the right mountains, you moron. 

Plenty of choice for the biggest gap:

Jupiter (VS 5a)

Jupiter (E3 5b)

Jupiter (HVS 5a)

Earth Rim Roamer ll (E4 6a)

I see what you mean.

Nice thread. Have done Neptune and Pluto, both brilliant. Surprised no-one has come up with a good 'Earth' route. There's Third Stone from the Sun (HVS 5a) which gets 4 stars, though not done it myself. 

Yes, Orion Face Direct (V 5) really has to be in such a list.

Atmospheres (7a) Clwyd Limestone

actually I see a couple were mentioned

Gravity (7b) Malham

Black Hole Sun (7a+) Twll Mawr

...Off to work😉

If you fancy a challenge, Hubble (9a)

Astral Highway 

Galactic Hitchhiker 

Moonwalk 

All super routes !

I Fell in Love with Uranus (6b) 

Named after my love of Space stuff...and a line from McFly's 'Stargirl'

Defo not a 'classic' though.

A bit disappointed that no one has christened a route with Futurama's alternative naming for the seventh planet.
