Has he actually called the Midnight project "Midnight"?

[remus]

No, name pending but he said on the pod he's not gonna call it midnight.

Lovely video, man psyched to climb a hard rock in the hills on his own with just his video camera for company. Feels more real to me than seeing the group sessions with loads of pads and shouting that seems to happen on lots of hard boulders.

Yeah, flipping loved that.

Officially news now as one of them has had a grade attached to it by Aiden.

UK has its first 9A. I guess that makes the other one as hard so another 9A.

i presume it will now pop up on all the climbing news channels now as there algorithms will spot it.

Well! I hope to see a repeat from Bosi and a confirmation but this is pretty mega, what a wad.

[joe-m]

Bosi will probably give it 8C though.

Aidan done a thing - anyone shed some light on this? I have no idea where it is

[csl]

Its the thing which was previously called the midnight project before he did it - its in Ticino https://www.instagram.com/aidan.roberts98/p/CtuChLNtivi/

[mr chaz]

Ah gotcha, hadn't made the link between the two

[Fiend]

Great stuff, how many 9As does that make now?? Big numbers...

9?

Wouldn’t be surprised if there are some upgrades and downgrades though. Especially terranova coming up. Clearly totally nails.

[Fiend]

And two of the three people with the most 9A ticks are Aidan and Will 

[teestub]

Hopefully Aidan will manage to safely sail to the states to check out the two there; I think Lorenzi also said he had US plans

[yetix]

Sounded like in the Sean Bailey interview on Carless Talk that he's done something new and really hard in the USA. I wondered if it was the first boulder in this video https://youtu.be/Ayji9tDdMx8?si=prEJESng0jJxtyNy based on other rumours. So could be 10 now if that's the case

[teestub]

In the same pod he was bemoaning the lack of coverage 8C+ got now we are into 9A’s, so I had assumed he had gone for that grade. Will all come out in the wash I guess!

I think you're right, he seemed pretty coy when Trieste Low was mentioned. Will be interesting to see if Shawn Rabotou has anything up his sleeve too, he's been pretty quiet since doing Alphane and Megatron (except nipping in for a quick second ascent of Devilution).

ed: I think there's also a proj left of Trieste in the 9A range so could also be that.

Some hard stuff in the UK coming out of the new wedge video, not seen it on here yet (although no surprise it's already in climbing-history )



The Origin Sit 8C
Tempest in a Teapot 8B+
Hell is Empty and All the Devils Are Here 8B/+ FA

as well as a teaser for Trance 8C

He's sailing to America

Also a few moderates (for Aidan) in Kernow



Spots of Time vid Sunday

[Fiend]

A slightly less moderate (for Aidan) in Cumbria

[Duma]

Lovely.

I mourn the passing of the triple heel hook beta though!

[remus]

Part two if his little jaunt down to Cornwall. Nice to see some footage of Posiedon's Wrath.
