People these days grade chase it’s just how it is sponsors push for it. There are plenty of v11/12s in the south people from all around call stiff, but the reality is that they were FA’d long before any of this stuff out west. Fact of the matter is that double digit boulders especially Mellow FAs are soft due to grade chasing

@@Frivia It's true, Will even said Burden is the only V17 he feels confident about, everything else feels like it's not too much harder than V16.

@@FriviaAren't you the one actually more concerned about the numbers? Which is doubly lame because you're not even climbing these boulders, just watching videos of other people climbing them and making estimates. These still are the hardest boulders in the world, regardless of what number you wanna slap on it.

He is better than Ondra. Way stronger and way more chill. Will is the next level and the cool thing is he doesn't even seem to care :)
@Queenfisher444 4 ай бұрын
@@GiorgosPlanar I disagree, terranova remains the only unrepeated boulder above V15 and Ondra has never really gone after hard outdoor bouldering. Despite this he has multiple world championships and the worlds hardest boulder flash (14). I’d be suspicious the American V17’s are soft (Alph, ROTS, MT) are soft and Charles Albert has a history of being downgraded. Burden is the only real argument for Bosi’s strength however being such a short problem it doesn’t lend itself to grading accuracy. On a rope Ondra is still easily best in the world and Bosi is yet to complete Excal which Stefano only grades 9B+. Why which metric exactly are you considering Bosi “the next step”?

This climb took Will 44s to complete (from start to both hands on the final jug). Daniel Woods needed 62s, showing Will Bosis incredible precision. Probably one reason why the climb doesn’t seem to look so hard in this video. You just need incredible skill to do this 😮
