Like I said, random google. I thought it seemed unlikely.

Bosi will do it and on the day he does Shark will receive an email with a vid of Gaskins doing it. He just wanted to be taken at his word. Sometimes a reasonable man must do unreasonable things.

Might explain the package he gave me with “Not to be opened until
Shadowplay is repeated” on the front

[MischaHY]

I find it interesting how the dialogue around Shadowplay has evolved because you've now got both Will and Aidan saying it would be possible (although Aidan said 'harder than burden' so not quite as confident as Will). Regardless of the history it looks totally next level and would be amazing to see it climbed. Those undercuts look so savage.

[Bonjoy]

Have to say it looks both grim and snappy. Kind of hard to imagine anyone investing the time into such a line, especially if it's likely to break, and involve endless split tips. There are certainly lots more inspiring unclimbed bits of steep rock out there. It's  not as if an ascent would change anything regards JG's claim either. Of course it would be interesting, but I don't think it will happen personally.

[AndyP]

Bosi does seem to enjoy really really hard lines on grimy choss though...

More crushing :

Some top grinning going on there

Will Bosi says about Shadow Play ... "pretty sure it will go"

More deets in the latest jam crack: the holds are worse than burden of dreams and it's steeper. Almost certainly harder than burden.

Doing an insta live on Burden now!!!!

Complete with some quality shit posting in the comments!

I saw gaskins do this in a couple goes, climbed it as a vague series of lay aways

[yetix]

4 out of 5 moves done in a handful of goes each!

[cofe]

Work just took a back seat.

[yetix]

All the moves done

[36chambers]

can you imagine the scenes if he got up it in his first session whilst live streaming the whole thing

[steveri]

Damn it, turn us off and take a rest. Works for me on 6B.

[jakaitch]

Looks like the weather is actually on his side too

[teestub]

Hopefully Aidan and Shawn, and someone with more than a phone to film on, are on their way there!

[Fiend]

Weather looked lovely. Will's vibe is nice, the beard suits him. I wish one could turn chat comments OFF on PC.

[Bradders]

God that was so fucking cool.

In summary for anyone who missed it:

- 1st move 3rd go
- 2nd move 2nd go
- 3rd & 4th move flash
- 5th move 3rd go
- All moves done in about 25 mins

Was able to use a drop knee to shake out both hands on the 4th move.

Crux is getting the first move solidly enough to then do the foot moves and the second hand move successfully.

Basically, he's a bit handy isn't he?!

[yetix]

That was awesome. Loved how psyched he just seemed generally.

[teestub]

Live recording  has now popped up on his feed, hopefully Lattice saw the comments about paying for his data 😄

I guess all the replica training's paid off then, Shadowplay replica's probably in progress down the 3D-printers as we speak

[jwi]

Was able to use a drop knee to shake out both hands on the 4th move.

As a card carrying member of lead climber's association I approve of doing shakeouts on a five move boulder.

Here is Will on Jam Crack. I recommend skipping the first 20 minutes or so
