Pantomime is up to 7c
50 for 5 is up to 7c
I'm sure there are others
Can’t comment on Grooved Arête as I’ve not tried it, but I’d agree with the others. I find 50 for 5 harder than Pantomime and both harder than Comedy, so depends if Comedy is 7c.Kingy said:Grooved Arete is up to 8b

You’re missing the (possibly apocryphal) bit of the story where Pete Chadwick successfully redpointed it after some effort and Dunning, while still a teacher, set it as a class project to downvote it to 8a+ on the old Rockfax website.Kingy said:To provide some background to Grooved Arete for those who may not be aware….
