Can Will Bosi Repeat Adam's 9a Route from 2007? | Adam Ondra

When Will Bosi typed me a message that he was planning a trip to the Czech Republic and to visit my homecrag Moravský Kras (Moravian Karst), it took me a while to believe he really meant it. 2 months later, he quickly dispatched quick ascents of many of the hardest boulder problems, but I was especially curious about some of the routes. Sport climbing in Moravský Kras is usually even more weird, complex and beta-intense than local bouldering. Perla východu is a 9a that I first ascended when I was 14 years old and it hadn't seen a repetition. It is a proud line (trust me, it really is, unlike many other lines at my homecrag!) and Will had to put up a fight.
Watch the video about his visit and this particular route.
Thanks, William Bosi and Annaelle Duffield for the videos. Check Will's KZbin channel to watch full videos of his climbs: @WilliamBosi

[@lewisdoogan6243]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="616">10:16</a> that was so close, only just clipping the chain before his hand slips. Awesome!

[@AllegraClimbingPsychologist]

I believe Adam has one of the best sportmanship attitudes in the world. You can see that he's super competitive, but still very supportive for everyone, no matter who they are. We should all learn from him. It's not one against the other, it's us against the wall!

[@BinaScully]

I really think it's because he's competitive only against his own abilities. He wants to see the sport be pushed as far as it can go

[@BastienAdrien]

I absolutely agree - he's such an amazing idol for the sport!

[@kblaghablagh]

Awesome to see Will getting featured on the channel! He's a crusher and seems an all around stand up guy :)

@adamondra I have the perfect suggestion for you to get more Pro Climbers to try your routes! You invite Seb to come and in return you’re gonna try his routes in Ramirolles (DNA!)

[@zimcam1]

@Adam , I know it's your channel, but it's really cool to see some other talented climbers here. Good for you! Congrats to Will, and keep the cool content flowing! Thank you.

[@fab1000]

Sending such a route at 14 y/o is just out of this world

[@bartholomewlyons]

No, it was an 8c route back then. So all cool.

[@demoniccat1005]

Will is so underrated glad to see him here

[@joclark4619]

Will went to my high school in Edinburgh, Scotland. Although we never spoke, I remember reading about his progress in competitions etc. in the school newsletter, probably 10 years ago now! Crazy to see how talented he is and how his career has progressed!

[@mathiaslaustrup]

Will is slowly becoming one of my favorite climbers to watch. Looks like an engineer, climbs like the machines he would be building

[@Jubaone90]

He climbs sometimes at the gym I go to in Edinburgh and he defo looks like an average guy, until he's on the wall.

[@largeformatlandscape]

Im definitely going to visit somewhere next week. Right now im on holiday in the Czech Republic and bouldering near Petrohrad. Very cool!

[@patrickbryant_]

Love this! It must be so cool to finally share these routes and problems with someone. Any chance you will visit Will in the UK and check out some of his routes and boulders? You could also stop by the WideBoyz cellar and do some weird crack climbing in the peak district with them ;)

[@snefansson]

I've been hoping for a video of Adam (O-dog) visiting the wide boyz crack cellar for years now! Pete and Tom are such fans of him it'd be such a hype video! It'd be cool to see how well he'd do. As Pete said "...and we all now Adam can jam"

Great video, rare footage. How about some more stuff about Perlorodka? Adam said it was a route he worked on the most so sth special. It's of course unrepeated and the video "A few forgotten routes" by Bernartwood got deleted so there's no more footage online. Unless sb downloaded it from v. and can reupload (pretty please).

Perlorodka is a 9a+ that I first ascended in 2011, and it shares the start with Perla vychodu and then it goes straight. Will tried it very briefly, and we will definitely hear more about it as I have been trying a 9b+ variation into it. I want to finish it in the autumn, now it is too hot. If you write “Adam Ondra A few forgotten routes” on KZbin, you will get the result you want. Adam

It’s crazy to think after 15 years, he’s advanced only perhaps two grades from 9a-9c, he was already such a beast at 14!

It's 4 grades though. And it gets exponentially harder. Also never underestimate kid crushers. They got all the energy in the world!

[@jack_mountain]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="641">10:41</a> what's the difference between flash and first go in bouldering?

[@MLURD]

When you try some moves/sequences it cannot be a flash. For flash you can touch the holds but no trying of the actual moves...

[@OriginalDestro]

I consider a send a "1st go" instead of OS/flash when before the send I try the holds of the problem, even those that are not reachable from the ground, potentially hang on them to feel how good they are etc. :) EDIT: I wonder if it would still count as a "1st go" when you try individual moves of the problem separately before the send go. I believe so? Maybe thats what Will did but don't know...

[@DaleTurrell]

Flash is first go but you're allowed beta (information about how to do the climb, like watching someone else do it, or someone telling you which holds or moves to do), Onsight is first go and you don't have any more information apart from what you can see from the ground. Often in bouldering there's not much difference between the two so people sometimes only use flash.

[@ricato2]

@@DaleTurrell That's standard, but in the final list of Bosi's ascents it says "1st go" for one of the 8a+ boulders instead of flash

[@stike83]

@@ricato2 Most probably it shares the same start or ending with another problem he already did before.. so can't claim flash because he already climbed on it. But was the 1st go for that problem.. hope this makes sense :)
