I'm aware of some sea level bolts that were apparently put in to protect a sea level/coasteering traverse. As for a bonafide sport route?

What's your information source?

 Have been on a sport route in a quarry near Gogarth once, could that be what you're thinking of?

That'll be the red wall in Breakwater Country Park - i.e. the North stack car park: The Terrible Thing and The Crimson Crimp from 1988. Given E6 6c and E5 6b respectively in the 1990 Gogarth guide, with some comment about the E6 starting 5m off the deck following some re-landscaping of the ground beneath the wall.

I'm guessing you tried the E5?

well when you go right past the church down that road, through a gate, then the fields, then through another gate theres like a beach to your right haha sorry about these directions.. anyway if you walk along that beach then round the corner theres bolted route.. it looks pretty cool however theres no mention of it on ukclimbing's list of routes soooooo thats why i was asking wether anyone knew about it

Are you sure they are bolts, and not pegs?

I suspect what you've seen is Twid's two E7s (Surreal Appeal  and  Easel-EE) climbed around 96. These start independantly but have a common finish.
