Aidan Roberts in Bavona

In spring 2023 Aidan spent some time in Val Bavona and climbed the hardest boulders he could find. His power in his specific style is unmatched and it was impressive to see what he is capable of.
0:20 Peace Corps 8C
2:27 Ninjutsu 8B+
4:49 Momentum 8B+ flash
6:45 Swiss Air 8C

[@Turbosim]

6:56 This move is an absolute banger, great spine mobility, perfect tension. The wind blows in his t-shirt like it does in the sail of the Black Pearl heading towards f*ckin Tortuga.

[@dendemann1992]

That power, that control, that precision...Absolute masterclass of climbing.

[@aleksandrchadaev6165]

Keenan got the best "come on, Dude" in the game

[@Hoolagun]

IKR! I usually ask people not to "come on dude" me because im self motivated and i find it pulls me from the moment. Besides it doesnt change what i was going to do anyway. But his hype feels genuinely supportive, less intrusive and mentality uplifting.

[@MrWill830]

You can tell he really means it lol, he wants you to dig as deep as you can and believes you can do so

[@kevinbrubaker6076]

Up there with Daniel Woods' "very good"

[@rackhamlerouge]

Man, that footswap at 3:22 is pure witchcraft 🤯

[@MrWillwatterson]

Aidan is my favourite climber to watch. It feels like gravity affects him differently.

[@DamienSmeets]

That man climbs in the upper 8s with the control and precision I wish I had when I climb 3 grades below my max.

[@BlackdownBlocs]

4:49 I recall now seeing the Momentum flash in another video (Mellow maybe?) and thinking at the time, the top out is grotty AF lol - looks even grottier now! Epic work Aidan

[@stephenhenderson6404]

The last boulder 'Swiss AIr' is awesome.

[@buckhum55]

Really cool to see this line again after Jimmy Webb's scary fall from the Alphane vid

8B+ flash... insanity

[@themanissam1]

I am struck with how bold this climbing is, then there is the difficulty. Amazing!

[@johannielsen463]

Man I remember watching Webb on Swiss air and him hurting ankle...Aidan just looked so different and controlled here

[@RealClimbersDryFire]

This guy is absolutely ridiculous. Technique is flawless and every move looks effortless. Wish I could be him

[@ilian7646]

love ninjutsu so much, looks like he didn't try hard on momentum ! aidan is a machine

That level of control on those impossible looking boulders, incredible...

[@andrewkim9503]

Man Aidan completely statics the move that Jimmy deadpointed for and that he sprained his ankle from. So sick to see him cheering Aidan on through it.

[@ETMartians]

What a tear. That 8B+ flash was nuts.

[@BlackdownBlocs]

1:24 Jeepers Creepers! That was gnarly.

[@jens1525]

There are some very strong climbers out there these days, but Aidan's body control is absolutely unique!

[@kingsindian8948]

Could just be me- but I feel that Aiden doesn’t need all the beta spray. Vocal support is good but being told every move spoils the enjoyment of watching someone work out the sequence as they go . (Nothing more annoying at a wall than when someone’s telling you every move rather than allowing you to attempt an onsight flash). No big deal if Aiden’s asked for it of course! Anyway - totally brilliant climbing 💪🏼👌

[@WenereiKaraka]

Was Swiss Air a first ascent?

[@user-ih3jl9um6e]

Seems to be the second, after the F.A. by Jimmy webb

[@benji8690]

is that first climb not fight club?

If Aidan had better skin he'd run through v17. I truly believe that is his limiting factor lol.

Strong climbing and nice video/edit The music is questionable

not a single "let's fucking go" was said :-(

[@colehelton5000]

Glad you chose to overlay this video with only moderately annoying music

[@joolsgrommers1466]

Loved the boulders and the immense precision and control of Aidan's climbing. But had to turn the audio off, rare I get annoyed by the music.

[@pierrez8570]

Really wonder who is the "deep breath dude" dude, and why tf does he feel the need to shout on every single climbing video. Amazing climbing by Aidan and great video though, despite that.

[@joeylaptop9909]

this music is so bad

[@wh33lers]

Better no music than this. Way to invasive

[@HourRomanticist]

The music was a little overbearing to me through the first half.

Much better music than that rap crap! Style by the mile.

awful music

[@Synthysizer]

lmao i mean you're not wrong but i feel there's much more impressionable things in the video, like how locked in Aiden is on swiss air, to comment about

[@petemcdonald4927]

The music is distracting from the climbing.

[@middle-agedclimber]

On the contrary. Fits his climbing style perfectly.

how great is the climbing and how awful is the music lol

Absolutely ridiculous climbing.
