Return of the Sleepwalker 9A/V17

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

That’s gotta be the most chill anyone has ever made a V17 look.. ridiculously impressive climbing

[@TristanCleveland]

@@Frivia Sure it makes sense. V15 with a hard entrance can easily be two grades harder.

[@j0xIWsNt]

@@Frivia You send it and downgrade it lol

[@Frivia]

People these days grade chase it’s just how it is sponsors push for it. There are plenty of v11/12s in the south people from all around call stiff, but the reality is that they were FA’d long before any of this stuff out west. Fact of the matter is that double digit boulders especially Mellow FAs are soft due to grade chasing

[@maxwellerickson7066]

@@Frivia It's true, Will even said Burden is the only V17 he feels confident about, everything else feels like it's not too much harder than V16.

[@yScribblezHD]

@@FriviaAren't you the one actually more concerned about the numbers? Which is doubly lame because you're not even climbing these boulders, just watching videos of other people climbing them and making estimates. These still are the hardest boulders in the world, regardless of what number you wanna slap on it.

Dan woods: hard rock, skater, mtv compilation style video of the send Will Bosi: here's how you can send this boulder in 5 easy steps

[@ZOROASTED]

@@sibrilliant i climbed with him in 2012 as someone who was climbing like v5/5.11 at red rocks, he was chill as hell, we were both talking about how trad is nuts as we walked up to a trad class. @sibrilliant edited his comment like a little yellow bellied sapsucker.

I actually really enjoyed both videos and sends... both Daniel and Will seem like super nice guys as well.

[@Ja_youtube_Ja]

hahaha, deep in Will's mind, this is not v17

[@kooljawss]

7:22 the way he just stops on the campus is insane

[@jakobjas4212]

[@nuklheds]

Sooooo much tension through so few contact points

[@JayceJR]

Strong core

[@Queenfisher444]

Will’s movement starting to look reminiscent of Ondra climbing at his absolute peak. Crazy fast, efficient technique.

[@GiorgosPlanar]

He is better than Ondra. Way stronger and way more chill. Will is the next level and the cool thing is he doesn't even seem to care :)

[@Queenfisher444]

@@GiorgosPlanar ​​⁠I disagree, terranova remains the only unrepeated boulder above V15 and Ondra has never really gone after hard outdoor bouldering. Despite this he has multiple world championships and the worlds hardest boulder flash (14). I’d be suspicious the American V17’s are soft (Alph, ROTS, MT) are soft and Charles Albert has a history of being downgraded. Burden is the only real argument for Bosi’s strength however being such a short problem it doesn’t lend itself to grading accuracy. On a rope Ondra is still easily best in the world and Bosi is yet to complete Excal which Stefano only grades 9B+. Why which metric exactly are you considering Bosi “the next step”?

[@GiorgosPlanar]

@@Queenfisher444 No metric bro. This is just another unsolicited, and completely unfounded opinion sprayed in the comments section of a random youtube video. Therefore it must be true

[@Queenfisher444]

@@GiorgosPlanarThankyou for contributing absolutely nothing to this discussion.

[@GiorgosPlanar]

@@Queenfisher444 no worries

[@LeoClimbsTrad]

Absolutely love the angle this was filmed at - it really captures the angle of the boulder as well as the micro beta and tempo. Amazing as always!

[@thenayancat8802]

Yeah never realized how steep it was until seeing this. Crazy holding slopers that bad on this angle

[@markstewart9362]

Stoke! Will is the nicest most happy to be climbing guys that shares regularly online. He is by far my favorite climber to watch because of that infectious joy!

[@denclimber]

the attempts look like being sped up x2 in editing until I noticed people cheering Will. he was climbing it uber fast!

[@OBdizzy]

His precision and control is just ridiculous! I love seeing people who make hard climbing look like fun. Like Shawn, Will's relaxed and psyched vibes are almost as inspiring as the climbing level he operates at. So rad, these super hero's of modern climbing.

[@satanaz]

he doesn't even mention the crux of the route, the slab at the end where Daniel almost s*at his pants 🤣

[@doofkopf2579]

nawh, he had anna with him. She gave him the Slab-Power

[@Eddysamson1]

Also where Liam Bancroft fell on Squoze lol

[@gabrielpereiraramos8990]

RETURN OF THE TANGOMAN... The foot work is amazing

[@Voidload]

It's insane HOW MANY times you can repeat the whole boulder in session 11 with just missing the ending... Man you are something else. I am so excited to see what you do in future. This year soon in no doubt you will send Excalibur and Terranova

[@steveilg6134]

The man who looks like an accountant but climbs like a Beast! Mesmerizing footwork - what a Dance! When I teach beginners my first guidance is, “Practice looking at your feet more than looking up,” and note the % of time Will is watching his feet on this Send. Congrats Will and crew! Thank you! 🙏🏾💯💪🏾🇺🇸

[@DavidAsscherick]

Was such a privilege to follow Will's progress on Instagram. Now, to witness the full ROTSW send, in all its glory, is profoundly awesome and inspiring. Dude is a LEGEND, straight up.

[@Dardjiskien]

the foot movements are so fast that the video seems to be accelerated! Thanks for your joy and your achievements Will, this is so inspiring !!

[@jarfrobinksss]

love how he's warming up using the V16 portion

[@rainerheld5570]

This climb took Will 44s to complete (from start to both hands on the final jug). Daniel Woods needed 62s, showing Will Bosis incredible precision. Probably one reason why the climb doesn’t seem to look so hard in this video. You just need incredible skill to do this 😮

[@yannickfrogel3537]

You are missing one important aspect. Daniel Woods made the first accent, so he Had to figure Out the best Beta and stuff.

[@DrewNorthup]

​@@yannickfrogel3537 Not sure what you mean by that, both of them made the accent on red-point after multiple attempts.

[@Kingofdafarm21]

​@@yannickfrogel3537 He means seconds to climb the thing. Not attemps

[@wilsonlin__1207]

I think Da Woods had made a shorter reach at the final campus then heel hooked , whereas Will simply just campused up there, therefore different amout of time was needed

[@DJangles]

Daniel is also just generally a slower style climber. Watch his burns on Alphane compared to the ascensionists... snail-like in comparison

[@augustclimbing]

Congrats again on the send! It’s so wild to see how consistently you were moving up the boulder in session 11… and then to have it all come together… just wow! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@gabrielramirezsanchez7882]

Amazing!! Obviously the problem in the second to last session was that the pants were to heavy.😅

[@thomasturner649]

Pants off for power!

[@1mobvods277]

Will is on a different level at the moment!

[@Outlabyrinth]

Dude is on another planète Basically Send the boulder 5 time in a session 😅 So genuine smile vibe 😊

[@rock_6022]

love this video. Non nonsense - just pure climbing! Also, impeccable technique! My mind is blown! Well done Will!

[@demoman2]

this makes me realize I need to climb faster. this man sticks the foot and is immediately into the next sequence! goddamn so sick

[@jonasjohajohanson9517]

Fire! The way you stop the swing is outrageous! You made it look so easy!

Thank you so much, for the breakdown at the beginning. I was thinking about trying it, but was never really sure about the beta and the quality of the holds and such. Looks like a fun challenge to end your outdoor day with, after a couple of beers.
