Hardest pitch in each state?

Planet Claire may actually be the hardest climb by grade in New York at 14b.

Minnesota:

Insectaphobe 14- at redwing?
I heard there might be a 5.14 at sandstone that just got sent?

It's a little hard to follow but I think I've added everything up until here... Anyone know some of the missing ones? Alaska? South Carolina? Minnesota folks? Any I missed or have wrong?

Well there's V13 in RI

V3 bouldering at Jacksonville? My buddy posted this video when he was stationed out there in the Navy a few years back

Agreed but I don't know that it would top 15a (Jaws II) in comparison.

Depends if you fall off

WHERE?!?!?

in Alabama to my knowledge its Blue Rhino 13d at Painted Bluff.

I'm pretty sure there's some sport climbs in the 13d/14a range at Hidden Valley in VA. Somebody with better beta than me might be able to give you more specifics.

VA: nebula 13d/14a per some old hidden valley beta

Southern Comfort in the Concave is 5.14a. I know there are other hard ones around both at LRC and PB.

The Madrigal was a long time project recently sent in Alabama (14a), and I believe Jimmy Webb recently established Cookie Monster (14-) in Tennessee, which is the new hardest route in the state.

Florida V12

The arete on the Cube in Montana is called Occam's Razor, it's probably as good a candidate as any.

If we want to include Puerto Rico

Mucho Oro, Poca Placa 12c/d
Explore Yosemite 12c/d

Jeff Shapiro did a route at Kootenai, Relativity, which he also called 13d I believe.

Golden Ticket (RRG, KY) is considered 14c, not 14d.

CT's hardest route from my understanding is over in the Eastern part of the state at a small crag that's on private property and is posted. Think it was done in the 80's or 90's.

Sprague... I think you may have been to this one? Do you by chance know the area I'm referring to and the name of the route?
