Boulder Breakdown: Burden of Dreams V17

[@devinbusk1878]

Can’t wait till we find out he did It 2 months ago, 6 months from now.

This guy always has a slight smile, always seems unruffled and chilled out and it’s pretty contagious… going to be so satisfying to see him send it.

[@bastian6173]

Whenever I see him and hear him talk I always think he's stoned. I mean this in the nicest way possible. Super cool dude apparently.

[@btewb]

[@goGOgetITnow]

At 0:18 I was like 50/50 whether he's just trolling all of the global climbing community to the max and just sends it

[@ShakespeareanBroncobuster]

I thought the same thing

[@isaaccurry3049]

Definitely thought he was mashing it first thing before video even starts then he's one move away. Made the first move look so good, too!

[@terokemp4810]

same! and that would have been actually amazing. :D

[@adrianballard3121]

I’m borderline think he’s already sent it and it just not telling 😂

[@dantelaw7759]

Totally expected this video to be exactly that 😅 he knows how to keep the community on their toes

[@marceld1890]

I like how this guy just casually makes climbing videos that aren’t just some crazy athletes doing insane things, but Shawn actually breaking down the beta of one of the worlds hardest boulders. Great stuff mate

[@edbrown8260]

Shaun breaks down a V17 like i do for a V5

[@edrzl]

So I start at this jug, then move to the next ju... oh wait, that's a ladder

[@biomorphic]

Don't tell me, life is so sad. These elite climbers pull hard like hell and they never get injured. They must have vibranium in the bones.

[@craigmalik6061]

...and like I do for v10. It's awesome, because seeing how he "sees" the problem, improves how I see my own projects. Loving the detail!

[@edbrown8260]

@@craigmalik6061 yeah im not complaining its so sick

[@jrthhfdff]

Lmao first of all it's Shawn and second of all nah nah nah you don't do anything like him at all 😂😂 not even at v5

[@grahamperrier1283]

So unbelievable to see how calm and collected he is while projecting the hardest boulder in the world. Great example for staying humble and stoked no matter what level you are working toward.

[@btewb]

its a rock bro calm down

[@janihal]

It's amazing how many minutes of great content the climing community has gotten out of this single rock. Always interesting!

[@TristanCleveland]

When I first started watching climbing vids there was just that one video of Nalle sending and the comments were like, "That doesn't look hard. What's the deal?"

[@janihal]

@@TristanCleveland Yup, I remember that as well. Most of those people were not that aware of Nalle's level and the fact that it took him multiple years to send it. Now we for sure have more perspective to it 😅

[@TristanCleveland]

@@janihal A lot people also just had no idea what they were talking about 😆

[@janihal]

@@TristanCleveland well this is true, but it doesn't stop them from commenting 😂

[@GeorgeDeCastro-du8lm]

Every time I watch you it’s such a huge reminder to always be calm and be positive during a climbing session. Loved seeing the breakdown too. Always a great example of how to be

[@TheMatthewGoodacre]

*me wearing shoe sizes 4 times to small and power screams just to send a v4* *Shawn on a v17* "We are just gonna start at the bottom and go to the top"

[@mitchellreynolds8122]

It’s honestly quite inspirational. Or on a recent climbing daily video, Ryuchi Murai repeats his v16 Floatin, and his attitude is just so happy and chill. Makes me really re-think my attitude to my limit (read: v5) projects, and makes me believe I can climb way harder than I think right now.

[@ryyinyang]

I feel like itd be fascinating to have Shawn do an explaining bouldering at 5 levels with Wired. All these videos feel so accesible/understandable even if you're just getting into climbing.

[@blaszko333]

I love how chilled you are. I'd got mad if I'd fallen on the last move of my project, and here you are, dropping last move on the one of the hardest boulders on the world with just "oh noooo" as a reaction. Golden.

[@DarkSideOfTethys]

Every time I think about being upset on a fall, I just think about your attitude towards climbing and it makes me relax so quickly!! You are truly inspiring with your climbing!

[@jonahcarpenter6580]

Such a sick video idea. I could watch a playlist of hard boulders being broken down like this for hours on end

[@jakobbauz]

Same. Easily. ^^

[@samandrews5594]

The positive mindset is what sets Shawn apart from every other boulderer out there, so nice to see

[@ursusbachthaler566]

Nalle, Will&Aidan seem also always very positive and just enjoying their climbing. I guess, they all work with the same, very open and very positive mindset.

[@qriz5]

@@ursusbachthaler566 seems more like a trend to me at the top level of climbing

[@scotterd]

@@ursusbachthaler566 Literally, Will never stops smiling

[@samwatson2735]

So sick to see some of the micro-beta explained, filmed, and edited so concisely. So relatable regardless of grade.

[@Mike-oz4cv]

It’s always different when you see those boulders in real life. I’ve touched the holds of Bügeleisen (8C+) (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIfZYpmXr7mFhJo) and it’s really mind boggling that any human being could hold on to them and do the moves.

[@massimofi]

​@@Mike-oz4cvThis one is quite the opposite... These holds feel quite big and positive and it doesn't seem so hard at first...

[@taitcitarella7062]

Shawn does that first move with such controlled power it’s so beautiful to watch

[@kenziebui9316]

Shawn explaining like anyone watching is ever going to be able to do a move

[@popotiger]

😂

[@S3IIL3CT]

I mean there could always be a few pros watching xD

[@ravebatz]

I Will

[@mariacristinapachon5874]

watching parts of the process being explained in a vid like this is so satisfying. Also very relaxing, could listen to Shawn explaining things all day

[@Dwable]

I really like his style and mentality while climbing, super calm and chill while still climbing crazy hard boulders

[@decadeca]

He's so mellow

[@balazs.f.s1371]

​@@decadeca starting to think mellow is code for something else.

[@KramerPacer2]

Raging because you don't make your project is the biggest copium in climbing. And for most of us it just means that we can try again next session or if we are unlucky, it will be dismounted before we get another chance. But this guy took a damn travel exclusively for this and gets so close, still keeping his cool and react so productive and non-toxic to the reality that he won't get to touch the top. And he is going home as a better climber. Shawn is giving us so much to learn from. I will try to apply this to my training. Thank you and keep doing your thing man!

[@cwehden]

'to be continued' Oh yeah baby! So pleased Will and Shawn have both sent this climb, drop send videos on the same day...? congrats!

[@etdrefiel]

Will is releasing it on Tuesday 06.06 19:00 British Summer Time

[@DavidMucli]

Climbing video of the year right here. No need for a send, the process is already fantastic to witness.

[@neilbowers]

"TO BE CONTINUED" ... does that mean you've done it, and are teasing us with this first? I reckon Shawn has done it, but is waiting for Will's video to drop before sharing his.

[@iancrane5705]

This is the second time we've seen him fall on the final move (and being really close both times too). So I'd be shocked if he doesn't end up sending it, or already has

[@neilbowers]

Given the way Stefano refers to Shawn on his recent video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqbIgmlql8idpsU), I reckon Shawn's done it, and Stefano nearly let the cat out of the bag.

[@morgydee]

I love the hype this single boulder has garnered recently

[@zech9065]

I just simply get happier when Shawn uploads a video. Time to relax and enjoy

[@LostinYTblackhole]

I remember my first V17 like it was yesterday. It was December and there was 3 ft of snow covering the route. I had to bring a brush up with me as I was climbing to brush the snow off the holds because it was a relentless snowstorm. It was also -50°F and I had frostbite on all my finger and toes. I crimped so hard on the crux that I broke off my pinky finger which was frozen solid. It’s great to see the younger generation being able to do what I was able when I was only 8 y/o. Maybe someday you could be even half of what I was if you try hard enough! But remember hard work pays more than talent. If you need any advice please feel free to message me. I’ll have my secretary give you my number. I’ll be in the Atlantis attempting the first V21

[@nonianoo]

Simply love the way you climb. So elegant and delicate.

[@brianschumitz2621]

I’m super impressed by how calm Sean was after that foot slip! I probably would’ve drop kicked the fan haha.

[@lucavalentim1917]

I love the breakdown, it’s so interesting to see the miniscule changes that make a difference at this level of bouldering

[@EddieBeniston]

Expecting the Shawn send vid after Will bosi drops next week. 💪🏻

[@Elebrant_]

Probably the most renowned boulder problem in the last year. Thanks for the detailed explanation of the sections. Even though most of us will never reach such level in climbing, I'm sure we can learn a few things from this video.

[@andrewjsusanto]

Odds he sent it a bit after Will but out of respect is letting Will get his footy out first 😅

[@s_h-ko9rn]

Impressive to see Shawn about to win the battle against burden of dream ! No doubt he will be the next to triumph over this legendary block! Videos of such quality are rare, those if are just exceptional.

[@Noahtherway]

Ya know, I really appreciate the showcase of multiple grip options. Really opens this problem up for the average viewer :D

[@maddoxeriksen3270]

I love Shaun’s climbing style. It’s inspirational because not only is he trying incredibly hard things but also appears non competitive about it. 2:36

It is so nice to see that you are one of the best climbers in the world, this without a great fame as others. Just climb on your own and having fun.

[@PatchB]

Dude looks more solid than anyone else on the first move. Also the rock looks so cool in the up close shots, the lichen patterns are sick

[@genuineultra]

Now two months away from climbing due to ankle injury, watching your videos maintains the psych high, thanks for that! Can't wait to get back to this.

[@themightyjimmy5320]

Your efficiency of your footwork is criminal, cant wait to see the send vid!

[@julimenze3887]

Your chill attitude is just so relaxing and perfectly fits the vibe of climbing videos! Also, as a former Skateboarder, the style of your videos and the mellow crew remind me a lot about some skate clips :)

[@PsychoFai]

Shawn is so awesome!!! I like how you explain clearly the beta and details, instead of just posting a sent video (I'm sure you will send it). I wish more people do the same to help other climbers to learn, instead of just posting sent videos without further explanations. This is because there are many small details like how to grasp better the hold, little adjustments that may not be noticeable in a video.

[@matthew4407]

So cool to see the breakdown. Every move is so precise

[@Pau_Sort]

I can not even imagine holding in that holds. Truly incredible.
