Hey this is cool! It's a shame to have a super hard boulder with no one willing to try and repeat it. Well done mate, we'll be watching your progress.

[@criminallyretarded6312]

its cuz its a drop and not worth doing

[@antoniopaparella2326]

actually there is @JaneSvecova trying hard as well.

[@ryangamv8]

bro look at it haha. Who tf gets psyched on something that looks like this

[@Blueturtle1]

@@criminallyretarded6312what does drop mean in this context?

[@ethanhypes2657]

Glad Adam’s boulders are seeing some repeats!

[@phaphua2022]

tbh this drop off boulder looks ugly ah

[@Perry0823]

I am really interested in this boulder. Glad to see you getting on it Will.

[@augustclimbing]

Wow! 😮 Super cool to see your progress and the links you were able to make in this first session. I’m excited to see more 👍🏻👍🏻

[@WilliamBosi]

awesome glad you enjoyed it!

[@weisspierr3761]

not O-1 sadly

[@tegridyfarms6197]

I would actually like to know the O grade for this 😅

[@TheDodgerPlays]

I guess it’s also not B-1

This O-many

[@ciepularys]

Hahahaha ye

[@climbing_thomas]

lets go will! supercool! i like that you go for lesser known climbs, that are also unrepeated still!

[@Sarah-fy3qf]

Can't wait to see you finish it 😊

[@Airsofter3009]

Good luck with that hard one! I'm eager to watch your progress on it. What a desperate boulder 😅

[@ShaunaCoxseyClimber]

Yes Will!

[@robertcreer8826]

excited for this! come on Will!!!

[@pphlegm1277]

awesome to see some time put into this boulder.

[@sondrero250]

You should smack a limiter on the audio track next time / try to normalise it as the signal (volume) is very low, especially on the dialogue. I was afraid of watching the clip on the metro with headphones as I thought ads were gonna come in like 5 times louder❤ just a heads up!

[@WilliamBosi]

Thanks for the info, defiently keen to keep learning and making these better :)

[@bentervort19]

If you ever need help with audio editing, I can do it!

[@karlderdelinckx]

Adds are just way too loud in general on youtube. They want the attention so they make it so loud that they are just pissing off people who wanne watch youtube. It’s not will’s video that has to unnaturally make his sound louder. It’s youtube that has to limit the add volumes back to a normal level.

[@ppeppe]

Tom Scott did a recent video on why ads sound so loud. Not as simple as volume! but LUFS

[@callmetarif]

That's why you pay for youtube

[@josefzocek9585]

It looks like my new favorite series..

[@ciepularys]

Good luck Will super cool

[@bazwax77]

Good effort dude….nae bother 💪🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@chiz161190]

I hope Adam Ondra tries Burden Of Dreams one day

[@BrumbleJumble]

honestly i don't think it suits him because i feel like we kinda saw him on something similar with Excalibur. although burden doesnt have that shitty finger lock that AO decided wasnt worth it to keep trying.

[@chazott]

@@BrumbleJumble nah, Ondra would be very likely to crush burden. Did you see him on Gioia? Why would anyone assume he can't climb something when he has logged more ascents at the highest level than any other climber. It would be very hard to find something Ondra can't climb but others can. The only thing I've seen that doesn't suit him is speed climbing and pockets to some degree (perfecto Mundo) but he can still climb 9b pockets like a champ.

[@chiz161190]

Ondra has different physique now, I wonder how much this matters. He did Gioia and Terranova when he was skinny 17-year old.

[@chazott]

@@chiz161190 man what's with the Ondra doubters? He's the best climber who ever lived. He's proved himself again and again and remains at the top of the game. You know, Sharma just made his hardest redpoint/FA this year and he's 12 years older than Ondra. We probably haven't even seen the best from Ondra yet.

[@morgydee]

​@@chazottI definitely don't think he'd crush burden, for one Terranova is in his home crag and he'd been climbing on that style of rock for his entire life. Secondly, when projecting Gioia I'm quite sure he stayed with the person who FA'd the climb for a couple weeks projecting the climb before sending.

[@OhSoMikeable]

Can I just check - do we know the O Grade for this one?

[@nopro_films]

O3 (8 years)

[@adamskaggs]

​@@nopro_films What does O grade mean? never seen that... im american

[@Mathes1]

@@adamskaggsit’s a meme grading system created by the wideboyz. It’s basically how many sessions it would take Adam Ondra to do the climb. So O0= flash, O1=1 session, O2=2 sessions etc. You should check out the recent wideboyz video of Ondra going to the cellar- it’s a lot of fun and O grades are mentioned all throughout

[@Nmc01236]

​@@adamskaggsit's a (half-joking) grading system invented by Pete and Tom of the Wide Boyz KZbin channel, based on how long it would take Adam Ondra to send a route/boulder. O0 is a flash, O1 is 1 session, O2 is 2 sessions, and so on.

[@Queenfisher444]

@@nopro_filmsI believe 8 years is O2800~

[@bigutubefan2738]

Oh wow, you're back in Czechia. When I first saw the photos and intro, I thought the problem and crag shot looked totally amazing for Peak esoterica. When can we expect the replica in Sheffield? ;-)

[@WilliamBosi]

I did scan some of the holds to be fair ;)

[@odip0ds]

venue looks like it has capacity for endless dodgy raven tor style linkups tbf

[@pavelbelik6174]

Cool!! Did you get some tips from Adam? Do you know what O grade it is?

[@poppaphat1689]

very cool rock

[@markusvornila]

Nice 🔥

[@mattbird1995]

❤

[@TrackpadProductions]

If memory serves, there's another 8C+ that ends with a kneebar just around the start of Terranova. Wonder what grade a link-up would be 🤔

[@WilliamBosi]

Yep that would be some next level linkup! you could also link that 8C+ into Adams new 9b+ route

[@krakenattackin7617]

@@WilliamBosi talk about contrived haha

[@jens1525]

Since it took Adam 8 years or so to crack this boulder it would be quite possible that today someone who cracked V17 in 10 days will upgrade Terranova, am curious....

[@lukedavies900]

People are getting a bit ahead of themselves I think. Will practiced for like a dozen sessions on the replica and then spent another dozen or so on BOD itself. This is just what V16 bouldering looks like, nobody is rocking up and doing them in a session or two. Even 10 sessions would be like half the number he spent on BOD and he's only uploaded three.

[@jens1525]

@@lukedavies900 Will did Alphane (V17) in 10 days without replica, that was my point. I think he has already spent more time on Terranova than on Alphane, for example. That's why Terranova could possibly get an upgrade.

[@lukedavies900]

@@jens1525 Aidan and Wil have both talked about how skin and condition friendly Alphane is though. A session on Alphane allowed far more practice than your average sharp crimp testpiece, so comparing session to session doesn't work as well as with BOD. Where did you hear he has spent more time on Terranova than Alphane? Will's posts seem to indicate he has only had three sessions this year, plus a couple last year. He spent a dozen on Alphane and they were much longer sessions. He has done all the moves on Terranova in four or so sessions, obviously it's much more power endurance oriented than burden but the first move of Burden took him 9 sessions on its own. Don't get me wrong, it could wind up being upgraded, but to me it just looks like people aren't used to seeing such a detailed, session by session account of a V16 and they're underestimating how difficult they are and how long they take.

[@jens1525]

@@lukedavies900 Will himself had once said in an interview that Alphane cost him 10 days. He also said in the same interview that Terranova was the hardest thing he ever tried. A few months after that, he succeeded in BOD. Whether he has invested more or fewer attempts so far in Terranova than in Alphane I don't know, but certainly he has been at it for a much longer period, albeit intermittently. He himself said that Alphane was V17 soft and BOD V17 solid. Let's wait and see if and when he repeats Terranova and what he then says about the difficulty. Maybe it will stay at V16, maybe not...

[@lukedavies900]

@@jens1525 The overall period of time that has passed between first trying a boulder and sending it is more or less irrelevant, the total number of attempts is what actually matters. Will has been "working" Terranova longer but he still hasn't put anywhere near as much time in on the actual boulder.

[@jonaskopecky5846]

Nice video! What were the conditions like? I thought trying a boulder on this bad holds would be a no no in summer temps but maybe on limestone it's different :D Good luck!

[@WilliamBosi]

Thanks and the conditions were good some days and bad others. this part of the crag is next to a deep cave so you can get cool air and really good conditons all year round

[@rainerheld5570]

Time to create a replica (not so bad for the skin) 😁 But maybe hard to do because of the 3D character of the boulder?

[@iamjomy]

Nice will! ROTSW next??

[@WilliamBosi]

2024 plan ;)

[@dietrootbeer_]

yo a little bit of mixing/mastering to make sure your voice is the same volume throughout the video would be appreciated! gotta crank the volume at the start to hear you, then when you're trying my eardrums explode. just an audio guy's perspective. hope terranova goes soon!

Hard to say until I get more time on it but currently it feels it could be harder than 8C+

@@WilliamBosi that is insane to even think and even more insane that adam did this 12 years ago(2011)

​​@@WilliamBosiThe idea that Adam accidentally did the first V17 and just Sandbagged it is awesome and absolutely terrifying

[@chazott]

@@WilliamBosi since it came first, does that make it a better benchmark? Anyway, it probably should feel too hard at first, leaves room for progress!

@@SpartaSpartan117 it was a cutting edge boulder at the time which is why he gave it the cutting edge grade of 8C+, same as Gioia
