Part of me would love to see Will/Aidain crimp the shit out of it and make it look piss. I imagine it is actually pretty hard though.

Woods’ original sequence may be more up the British crimp wad street

That is obscene. Treated that presumably steady top like it was the last few moves of a loose Pembroke VS though!

Surely that is THE 8C to be flashed. Going by style, Bosi and Roberts would rinse it. It's not hard enough for Albert to get out of his cave for.

Listen carefully at 6:03. Is breaking wind part of Nathaniel's pre-send routine?

[Duma]

did anyone else manage to watch the Noah W vid before they removed it again?

[36chambers]

yeah, shortly after you posted it. The upload date was a few weeks ago and it was set as unlisted, so maybe it wasn't supposed to be available for public viewing just yet. I'm assuming they were holding off until after the Coleman edit was released.

[Coops_13]

It's back up, mega.

Have we had this?


Quite a few films on that youtube channel I've never heard of

Tune in for this week's episode of manifesting gains, fam 

[Davo]

I actually quite enjoyed that. I think he is growing on me.

Wrong thread I hear you say, but Ondra describes the first crux on Silence as the hardest boulder problem he's ever done. I assume the 2nd hardest boulder problem he's ever done is Terranova, which is probably 9A judging by Will Bosi's efforts and comments. Ondra is truly the GOAT.

[Duma]

Didn't Pete Whittaker do this (Silence Crux) pretty quick? Maybe I'm misremembering but wasn't there a wideboyz vid?

[36chambers]

Shall we upgrade Gioia to 9A as, according to his 8a.nu, that took Adam as long as Terranova and he thought they were a similar difficulty?

I don't contest that Ondra is the best. But I do think his list of cutting edge boulder repeats is lacking, particularly if you consider the last 10 years, in which he's only repeated 4 8Cs.

Bouldering has come a long way in the last 10 years and my hot take is that he's avoiding the current hardest crop as he'd likely get shut down. Although I'd love to be proven wrong, so if you're reading this Adam, please get stuck into some of the 9As knocking about (anything but Alphane really).
 

[Wellsy]

I think we will need to see repeats before we can get actual opinions on these things. If Bosi did Terranova he'd give an honest opinion and it sounds like he'd say 9A

Honestly I'd quite like to see Ondras opinion on Alphane.

Oooooh controversial!

He has in that time done a lot of very hard boulder FAs on his home crags, which of course Bosi has been and sampled and confirmed grades. I'd be amazed if he didn't absolutely wallop Alphane and Sleepwalker, potentially Soudain Seul too. He just seems much more psyched for routes when he travels.

No one has proposed 9A for Gioia so why would it be 9A? Reading between the lines, Will Bosi seems to think Terranova is 9A and I'd say he's fairly qualified on the subject of 9A! 

It was only my best guess that Terranova was Ondra's second hardest boulder. He confirmed Silence is the hardest, but the second hardest could be one of his other 8C+'s for all I know.

I'm with Bradders that Ondra would rinse Alphane, Sleepwalker and maybe Soudain Seul. He'd kneebar the new Charles thing to oblivion too. At one point, I thought he'd have no chance on Burden and maybe that would be the case, but I recently saw a video at Ondra's wall where Bosi set a boulder that was intended to be in his style, so that he could do it and Ondra couldn't. Obviously it was a board style crimp boulder and Ondra did it easier than Bosi! (as well as rinsing other problems Bosi couldn't do). Stefano Ghisolfi also did better on Burden than he did on the Silence boulder! I'd love to see him go on a bouldering rampage but he seems more interested in routes.

Isn't gioia controversial anyhow as the key foot broke and got better, got a bunch of repeats and then the foot got filled in by Core when he realised?
