- In free climbing, a first ascent (FA), or first free ascent (FFA) is the first documented redpoint of a sport route or a boulder problem, without using aid equipment to help progression or resting. Notable first ascents of routes and boulders that were regarded as milestones in the history of rock climbing are listed below. Records for flashed climbs (i.e. successful on first attempt), and free solo (i.e. no safety ropes) climbs, and deep-water solo (i.e. free solo over water), are also listed. New "hardest grade" routes pre the sport climbing era that were traditional climbs are shown for completeness, as they were the hardest routes of any type at that time. A grade is provisional until a sufficient number of climbers have repeated the route to reach a "consensus". At the highest grades, this can take years as fewer climbers are capable of repeating these routes. For example, in 2001, Realization/Biographie was considered the world's first 9a+ (5.15a), however, the first repeat of the 1996 route Open Air, which only happened in 2008, suggested that it was the first 9a+ (5.15a). Open Air has seen no further repeats, and has had holds broken, whereas Realization/Biographie has had many (i.e. it is a "consensus" 9a+). They are thus both listed along the 3rd (and in cases, the 4th) ranked candidates. (en)
