Burden Of Dreams | Will Bosi Bouldering In Finland | adidas TERREX​

The burden has been lifted. The infamous Burden of Dreams boulder in Lappnor, Finland is a bouldering problem that no climber had solved since Nalle Hukkataival's successful ascent back in 2016. Will Bosi describes climbing the world's first 9A boulder as, 'the hardest boulder in the world'.​
​
Will Bosi's bouldering journey to the Burden of Dreams began in a much different setting to Finland - as he explored what was possible on a 3D-printed replica climbing wall in Sheffield, England. It was there that his confidence and belief began to grow.​
​
Travelling to the boulder was the next step. Will spent over three weeks at the Burden of Dreams, studying holds and perfecting moves that would allow him to ascend the boulder that has bettered some of the world's best climbers.​
​
On 12 April 2023, Will Bosi accomplished his dream of climbing the Burden of Dreams - and the rest is now history.​

The final shot of Shawn looking up as Will tops out is just gorgeous. Such an amazing accomplishment and the video really brings the beauty of the boulder to life. Love it!

[@kais7589]

Absolutely beautiful! And also, I think Alphane might have played a big part in Will's journey towards this. So Shawn was really helping Will's journey in a way.

[@olafolken]

Illustrates why I prefer outdoor to comp bouldering: this is collaboration and mutual flourishing, not competition.

[@isaaccurry3049]

So little and so much all happening at the same time in that one moment.

[@fabian-hugsforhikers]

In my opinion, the amount of work that went into the first repetition (a plastic replica, a winter tent etc.) makes Nalle's first ascent seven years ago probably one of the most iconic and legendary feats in climbing history. What a nice tribute to all these efforts.

[@anonymouscoward8657]

It's frustrating to watch and hear all of the discussion around this repeat but without much acknowledgement of what it says about how futuristic and astounding the FA was

[@SH-kj7co]

Does anyone know Nalle's thoughts on Will's repeat. Any comments from him?

[@fabian-hugsforhikers]

@@SH-kj7co Not to my knowledge, he's still off the grid I guess.

[@Nick-xv7bs]

The fact that Nalle sent this without even knowing it was possible 7 years ago is probably the most impressive feat ever achieved in bouldering

[@gunnaruppstad3574]

You know it's nothing short of a monument in climbing history when the second ascent receives more hype than the FA. Congrats, Will. And many thanks to Nalle, the visionary.

[@revilconn]

You're not wrong. I think it's a testament to how much bigger climbing has gotten in the last 7 years.

[@mrpigcho9466]

This video made me think about Nalle's ascent. Will talks about how useful it was to work on this with other climbers, both technically but also mentally. I imagine Nalle's journey was a lot more lonely. Incredible really.

[@jakobjas4212]

@@mrpigcho9466 100%. I can just imagine Nalle spending night after night alone on the boulder. It looked so different back then too, I think there were still trees around it.

[@BargainBinkey]

its not getting more hype, its literally a corporate sponsorship. which includes advertising their sponsored athlete lol.

[@jakobjas4212]

@@BargainBinkey it’s not just this video though, you’ve had Shawn Raboutou, Will Bosi, Toru Nakajima, Stefano Ghisolfi, Aidan Roberts all give this boulder attention over the past few months. There was hype because it was going to be repeated, just no one knew who and when.

[@callmetarif]

Shawn's smile as you climbed higher and higher on the boulder got bigger and bigger and it was just the tip of the iceberg in this awesome production - hats off! King WILL 👑

[@ethanhegge]

its crazy how collected and aware shawn was during the finish. i would have lost my absolute shit, how poetic for Shawn to stay subdued in that moment. all around just incredible.

[@ryanwood2110]

It says a lot about the climbing/bouldering community spirit that Shawn is there and happy for Will. In many sports rivals at this level barely talk to one another let alone collaborate. Amazing achievement.

[@perrydoig2872]

It’s not lost on me that the two strongest boulderers today have a disposition that is polar opposite from elite climbers throughout history. So lighthearted and chill. Will and Shawn are perfect ambassadors for climbing.

[@buschinpolen]

Adam Ondra gives off similar vibes, if he's not screaming like crazy that is..

[@DaltonWolfinbarger-fl2mo]

I have no doubt that this will be one of the videos the next generation of climbers point to as their inspiration to start climbing. Unbelievably strong Will, congrats!!

[@mikekenny1698]

That and Adams Silence clear

[@apeist]

Now imagine what Will and the other top young boulderers are going to be able to accomplish when they find the next level of hard and project it with the same level of commitment and effort that Nalle put into Burden. Huge props to Nalle for putting this monster up... he didn't have the luxury of working it with buddies and knowing for sure if it was even possible.

[@dieselrugg]

All true, but I think the right foot beta was from when Woods and Webb came to try it with Nalle...?? I could be remembering it wrong.

[@lucaa4480]

@@dieselrugg i think they found the feet on the right that made the boulder easier, and nalle was quite disappointed by that discovery 😅

[@sexystmanalive1]

@@lucaa4480 hahaha that sounds like something I could imagine Nalle saying. Also I kind of feel him

[@Jaces87]

The simple fact of knowing its possible, remove a massive mental game aspect. Remarkable nonetheless.

[@middle-agedclimber]

Nor did he have a replica with a pulley system in a comfortable environment. I wish original beta (without the foot and top move with the other hand) remained the only one. It would have been a V f..g twenty.

[@WideBoyz]

[@micha8615]

According to the video's chapters he sent V17 on his Rest Day. What a beast!

[@TheNickMartinez]

because of this i will be skipping my rest day and heading to the gym

[@ayoubboufous]

Yeah it seemed like he just got that feeling of I've got to go now

[@Newgonz]

First time I've been so invested in someone else sending a climb. From watching the lattice videos, to the ig lives, to checking social media every day to see if he had sent the boulder, to finally seeing the video of the send go. Will became my favourite climber throughout this process.

[@weekendchoss2593]

Its sick to see that Shawn was there to support him in the last days!

[@faldocool1996]

I think like most the fact Shawn Raboutou was there and the total respect he had is the highlight, the 2 greatest just pushing the limits and each other bravo 🙌 and made it look like my local v5 😮

[@lukefrederick3548]

GREAT GREAT VIDEO! Shoutout to the editors, and will bosi for having 0 ego he's so impressive

[@thdjjfsfh]

I clapped when he made it. The second man to send that boulder, congratulations. Rooting for Shawn to send it next.

[@augustclimbing]

This is gonna be epic! We know the outcome and yet it’s no less exciting 😂

This video was beautiful. I couldnt stop smiling when I saw Will latch onto the penultimate move with both hands

I think this is the first time you’ve showed us the frustrations you’ve experienced during this process.

[@isaaccurry3049]

After watching so many epic climbing moments on KZbin, the seconds before the ascent were palpalble. Amazing how much it means to see a human pull on so little rock. Huge congrats to Nalle, Will, Shawn, Stefano, and Team. All part of history!

[@palomacarrion2356]

Luck had nothing to do with this, Will, it was hard work and an uncanny talent! 👏 The video was worth the wait!

This doesn't get more pure than that. Just enough holds to climb it. Thank you Will for making us part of your journey, this is so incredibly insightful to see the process, the mental ups and downs and of course the perfect climbing that got you to the top of this final boss.

I never thought the video of an ascent of the hardest boulder in the world would be the climbing video I relate the most to. Will's frustration on messing up on his send goes really remind me of my own projecting, even if I am projecting 10 grades lower
