Trying World's Hardest Boulder, V17 [Ft. Exclusive Will Bosi Post Send]

[@WideBoyz]

Massive congrats to Will for his recent 2nd ascent of Burden of Dreams. And thanks to him for joining our video. Check out Wills channel www.youtube.com/@williambosi We're also both (Pete and Tom) proud to be supporting Climber’s Against Cancer for its 10 year anniversary. Having known John (the founder) personally, we know he'd be totally psyched with where the charity is today and how it's grown. In the last 10 years CAC has raised and donated half a million £s to 14 different countries across 5 continents, and for the 10th anniversary the charity is targeting 10 large donations of another 10k each!! The 10 year anniversary tshirts (what I'm wearing in the video are on a limited edition run. There are 1000 prints and once they're gone, they're gone. Head over to The Climbers Against Cancer website to purchase and donate. www.climbersagainstcancer.org/

[@callumgill7019]

Because of how humble and jokey Pete is I sometimes forget how insanely fucking strong he is

[@i3dont3care3]

Yea, I think in general people don't realise how strong he really is. He's just very gifted as a climber, would be a top level boulderer if he wanted to invest the time

[@wyattmadson]

i watched all of his videos with magnus, and some crack fest videos and never realized how strong he was until watching the wideboyz movie.

[@magicalsteve2530]

i remember seeing him wandering around my local climbing gym then leaving

[@ThunderChunky101]

It's preturnatural! It's basically a superpower at this point. But then, his hands look like (and I've said this before) something you'd buy from Wicks and when you get home your wife says "you've gone over the top again, alm we needed was a spade!"

[@ThunderChunky101]

​@@wyattmadsonI'd love to see Magnus do one of his grip strength videos with Pete and an arm wrestler, maybe Schoolboy or (dream) Devon!

[@hillelspielman2142]

Pete: "I'm so stoked I almost nearly made a move!" Us: "Don't fall on the wooden wedge thingy!"

[@prxject415]

bro i was suffering, like just mooooove it!!! lol

[@cliveandersonjr.8758]

I was so confused. 😭

[@ethan_1sonenshine_160]

That sober joke made me gremlin laugh

[@michaeladams2074]

Lmfoaoo

[@Heyght]

YEP

[@tylermahy9492]

And me 😂😂

[@AntonAdelson]

That blew my mind. Because I remember the first time I discovered that all traceurs I know (parkour people) were serious stoners! I mean I am one too but I started long before parkour and climbing. Or, wait, was the joke about alcohol? You guys don't drink, do you?

[@jameslovdokken]

@@AntonAdelson yes it was about alcohol

[@lemao8063]

It always cracks me up when Pete hops on something really hard and is surprised that he’s super strong.

[@fenessi3638]

That intro sequence is absolute gold. Props to Will for the send!

[@WideBoyz]

If you enjoyed that intro you'll also enjoy this one if you haven't already seen it 😀 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpe2moClq7pgZ8U

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

So cool Pete! Tried this the other day, incredibly impressed how solid you looked on it. Thanks for giving us the great content ❤

[@yScribblezHD]

Oooh nice, video soon? 🤫

[@WideBoyz]

Ah nice, Look forward to your video Emil 👍 and actually meeting in a couple of weeks!

[@PolarBear4]

I think Pete has to be one of the most positive and optimistic people ever.

[@stephanv118]

"What's the hardest you've ever bouldered sober.." got me in tears 😂

[@tonymills8383]

I love how stoked Pete gets from holding the positions and pulling. It's like he's suddenly motivated to project a hard crimpy problem, which would be awesome to see.

[@naveenpradhan8386]

If anyone can do E1 to E10 in 10 days, its Will

[@WideBoyz]

For sure.

[@HavelockBanana]

And i ... i basically... TICKLED THE HOLD! :D

[@sessionmediaa]

I feel like this is not only impressive because of how well Pete does on the Boulder but also that he did this at midnight after a few mad days setting for crack fest! 💪💪💪💪

[@WideBoyz]

Good company always helps 🤙💪

[@alexm3892]

Anyone else getting minor amounts of anxiety watching Pete jump around that wooden box right underneath him??

[@halfmanhalfsober8098]

Ye, that's kinda terrifying. Any ideas what is it exactly and what is it for?

[@craigbritton1089]

Outdoor boulderers have confidence in landing around obstacles in the ground

[@KineticsDnB]

@@halfmanhalfsober8098 If you pause at 4:38, you can see he's using it to get a leg up and into the position.

[@ryangross5446]

Man will is such a humble beast! I would be super hyped to see him taking on some real hard trad routes. Awesome video Pete!

[@gemigtunnan]

Will has such an nice average joe-feel about him. Very humble and truly nerdy about the sport. Love it

[@denislejeune9218]

What an intro! Genius.

[@wojciechjankowski5707]

The editing is just *chef's kiss*! Great job!

[@MrJords1983]

Was laughing about that "on crack" joke for the rest of the video........ Brilliant!

[@SwitchUpYt]

You actually might have this you know…maybe time to commit to the goal! Awesome!

[@KenWAnderson]

You're an achiever Pete . . . thinking and persisting! 😊

[@Android480]

Production value off the charts

[@stitch3163]

Wow, Pete! Strong effort! Pack your bags for Finland, mate.

[@martinrudorfer8902]

Do you think this replica thing might kick off and we'll see some classic boulder problems in regular gym settings? Would be fun!

[@AllegraClimbingPsychologist]

Oh my God Pete that was SO IMPRESSIVE! Loved the video and the intro was magic

[@miguelgalllego]

Intro is A W E S O M E

[@mb4999]

Best. Intro. Ever. 👏

[@andreasverner1906]

Guys that intro may be the peak form of the internet, pure gold

[@julen2380]

The fact that I'm not surprised how well Pete did... I do wonder if that's more me also not having one real clue about climbing or Pete being incredibly humble.

[@codyheiner3636]

Massive props for sneaking in one of my favorite words here: rugosity.

[@TheNitram8]

Who cares about climbing man, that intro was so good it made me pinky campus my entire gym.

[@themeatpopsicle]

I feel like this custom hold set would be something a lot of gyms would be interested in

[@aplanofijo]

Nice moves Pete, I almost got you on my wooden structure so many times. The sprainedankleR

[@ejl74]

Great video. I’m so stoked to go climb now!

[@stephanv118]

Outstanding Intro!! 😂

[@acdclexu6296]

i love Pete positive energy on everything

[@glynwilliams13266231]

Brilliant effort. Enjoyed that

[@Supwiyaman]

Best intro ever 😂, awesome chesterfield 🤟

[@RH-rn5hn]

Amazing into 😂

[@altaris2000]

The location of that wooden wedge on the floor gave me so much anxiety while watching this video.

[@lemao8063]

I see that polar bear moving about the same way in my nightmares.

[@augustclimbing]

Better buy a ticket to Finland 🇫🇮 Not only can you try out Burden of Dreams, but you can climb the crack just to the right of it!

[@frspp]

And you can try some trads which are among hardest in the world. Humble finns gave humble grades.

[@craigbritton1089]

Watching Will and no this it confirms to me that the problem is more the movement dynamics and not the strength needed to hang off the holds

[@1lomi901]

Glad you managed to accomplish something on this problem Pete ! Today was my first time doing a Sunday morning climb session ... I really was not really in the mood to warm up .... I Thought going slow might be enough. Welp it wasnt ... My left elbow is totally out for the next 3 days :( !

[@simmysims9209]

1st ascent done 2016. That is mindblowing 🤔

[@grant.climbs]

so gnarllyyyyy

[@ChrisTurchin]

You had me at the polar bear 😂

[@JPo.404]

Get em Pete!!

[@BiggieChungulus]

You underestimate yourself brother. You are among the 0.01%. Keep up the good work.

[@largeformatlandscape]

I”d love to see E1 to E10 with Will!!

[@kylerey09]

💯 this needs to happen

[@robertbiggs4468]

Praise be the mutant scot 🙏

[@jacobgaylord9277]

Will should come check out the Red River Gorge if he does a US adventure 😁

[@ihearashadow]

¡Penguins in bondage, FTW!

[@PaulHobbs23]

I think if we find some finger jam into kneebar beta then Pete will be able to climb 9A

[@johnblack7862]

Whoa! Pete basically did the third ascent of Burden.... basically...

[@alexweitz]

First silence, now this. Pete is a legend.

Pete, seriously. We all saw you surprised yourself on every position, even getting close-ish on a few moves. I reckon if you try 4,000 times like Nalle did , YOU WILL CLIMB BURDEN OF DREAMS .

[@sanderreizevoort4143]

wwauw it looks like those custom holds are 3D printed. I wonder what type of polymer was used.

[@PietroNobili]

Cool cool cool but that wooden wedge was more terrifying than any route

[@Joecollins501]

@4.20 that did make me laugh.😂😂

[@MateiloverMateilover]

But can it be jammed

[@WideBoyz]

Maybe by the next generation of jammers

[@rookjameson]

And can Adam Ondra find a kneebar?!

[@richardbradley1532]

Health and Safety want a word 😂

[@Carlosallouchimontero]

You should get Ned out there to make replica holds using molds rather than 3D scans. He made some replica holds from The Ace and they have actual grains and everything, pretty incredible how they made them!

[@sametotheipi4407]

Pete = legend.

[@dannygrout92]

Once again we are reminded Pete is actually a bionic mutant in disguise. Yeh bouldered 8b . . . . Bullet proof day 1 progress on 9A / +

[@alexantone5532]

9A*

[@ThunderChunky101]

Hollywood trailer voice - "His wee Scottish fingers!" 😂 I nearly spat my drink out. (early) Edit: Pete's triple cowlick hair makes me want to grab him in a headlock and give him a good old fashioned monkey scrub. What a legend. Screenshot for posterity!! 😂

[@WelcomeBackMeHere]

I can't help myself: there are no polar bears in Finland

[@WideBoyz]

Any penguins in climbing harnesses?

[@sessionmediaa]

Quite obviously there are and we’ve included the footage as proof 😂😂😂

[@samuelmercier5888]

Can you buy theses holds somewhere. Just to feel how bad they are!

[@milesanderson1587]

Hey Pete! Huge fan and I was curious if you have a distributor for crack gloves in Utah?

[@travislayes6024]

Question: do climbers cheat sometimes by the belayer taking the weight on crux moves? Is this a thing and is it just called out when seen or used when making videos? Is this why comp. climbs don't allow belayers?

[@madisonpombo859]

I’ve always called this/heard it called a “power belay”. Where on top rope the belayer jumps and takes in as much slack as possible to help boost the climber through a crux move. This isn’t used to cheat necessarily, but I’ve done it when I can’t do a move but want to try the rest of the route. Or you are outdoors on a multi pitch route and everyone needs to get to the top so you can keep going. Comps are all either bouldering, which is done unroped and doesn’t have a belayer. Or lead, which does have a belayer, but because the climber is taking the rope up with them, you can’t do this same power belay because there is always slack in the system. So this wouldn’t be an issue in comps.

[@travislayes6024]

@@madisonpombo859Nice! Thankyou! That is exactly what I wanted to know.

[@philipegoulet448]

@@madisonpombo859 You can still cheat with the belay on lead! On steep climbs especially, a thight belay can really help holding the swing when you cut feet! It is still not an issue during competitions because of how much slack they leave in the system, as said previously, both so the falls are soft and injury free, and so that the rope doesn't help / grief climbers

[@stonemonkey1985]

Get will on shadow play, and violent new breed. See if they are actually possible or not.

@@craigbritton1089 he’d flash it for sure 😄

[@CollinGill7]

pete loves downplaying how many hard trad routes hes done

[@pol479]

does anyone know the dimensions of the holds ? I have not seen a single thing about this

[@WideBoyz]

They are scanned from the real boulder problem, then moulded from a computer 3D scan. The dimensions are tricky as they are shaped, featured and uncut/Slopey like real rock.

[@pol479]

@@WideBoyz thanks for the reply, would be cool if aidan gave the 3d scan ! I'd like to have an idea of how bad are the holds

[@WideBoyz]

@@pol479 the size (relatively speaking) are not that small. It is the distance between them, position of feet and angles of the hold on the wall that I thought made it insanely diffuclt. Actually holding them is not too bad (again relatively speaking)

F9A that is a bouldering Grade, equivalent to V17. Silence is 9c (note the lowercase) which is sport climbing grade, equivalent to 5.15d

Yes because you haven't been on the real thing

[@lukasskymuh5910]

@WideBoyz I wonder if this may lead to a trend and the hardest boulders and routes are constantly flashed. It is not the first time that technology changed the rules. I just don't like that it is a option which is reserved to those with a huge budget. I would love to see that people publish the scans as open commons so that the option is available for conciserably more people.
