Will Bosi talks Burden of Dreams Font 9A/V17

With Will making fast progress on the world's first 9A boulder, Burden of Dreams, we got in touch to ask about his experience on the Nalle Hukkataival testpiece, how it compares to the 3D scanned replica at the Lattice HQ, and whether it is, in fact, the hardest boulder in the world.

Josh Rundle just put out a video of him using the Burden pulley, seems like it might be worth an ask.

Great interview! Thanks for all the interesting content

Can't believe poor SOB had such a generic punt on the hardest 5 moves in the world. Lol...I get that's how it works but mann.

Been fn great period seeing all these crushers gather/rehearse n give goes. After 6 yrs of dormancy, the problem deserves this A listing moment. Good stuff.
