So this list is obviously heavily biased towards trad climbing, but 2023 has also been an amazing year for sport climbing as well. In addition to Jakob Schubert's B.I.G there have been 3, possibly 4, new routes of 9b+, plus two repeats of the 9b+ Bibliography at Ceuse. This is far more ascents at this level than any previous year. There have also been plenty of 9b ascents too including the first repeat of what is probably Japan's hardest route, Soul Mate (9b).
