Is Climbing V18 Your Next Goal? | ft. Will Bosi

About The Guest:

Will Bosi is a 24-year-old climber from Scotland who has emerged as one of the best climbers in the world.

This interview is hot off the press! Will made the second ascent of ‘Burden of Dreams’ V17 less than two weeks ago and joins us for a proper geek out about the send. We talked about his process of projecting the replica and the actual boulder, his feats of finger strength and where to draw the line between party tricks and useful strength, doing the second ascent of ‘Mutation’ at Raven Tor, his absolute dream project, and much more!

Pumped for will to go to Colorado, there is a lot there that he could find that would be HARD

Come to Brasil! It's getting Winter now! Talk to Felipe Camargo, there is a nice hard proj (and lots of room to find Will Bosi- hard projs) in "Gruta de Passa Vinte" and CE2000 is classic

*Gone are the days when climbers LOOKED like fringe cave dwellers and super-jocks, now there's Will Bosi, That Guy From IT Dept.* 🤔

It is interesting how much harder routes and boulder problems got after some climbers realized you could climb harder climbs when it was cold.
Now if your physiology prevents you from climbing in cold temps: you Will not be a cutting edge climber.
I also wonder if the change of rubber from EB/PA harder rubber to softer rubber helped this development. As EB rubber gripped smedges a bit better in warm temps.
( Conversely; I know of a boulder face edging problem in SoCal that has not been repeated since softer rubber came out. Though I am sure some modern climbers could do it with new shoes)

Sisu project seems pretty basic and long in terms of style! And it is for sure 9A+ - 9B+ range boulder!

Someone will surely send a v20 before Will posts a video of his send on Burden🙄
