1
In 2024 a boulder was climbed that almost nobody knows about Some believe that it's the hardest 9a out there,
2
but nobody really knows There's barely any footage and the footage that is is just obscure Is there in black and white?
3
Whatever it takes to climb this boulder almost no one has it But this guy is almost built for this boulder.
4
I couldn't ask for it to suit me much better.
5
He has climbed several of the hardest boulders out there.
6
This is of course Aidan Roberts, Britain's first V17 climber.
7
Aidan, who put it up, he's so good at the high angle crimps, like when the fingers are almost like a claw inside.
8
In March of 2024, he topped what he describes as the hardest boulder he's ever climbed ever climbed.
9
The hardest thing I've climbed by quite a good margin.
10
Today we are here to uncover some of that mystery and find out how hard this boulder really is.
11
We have arrived to arrival of the birds.
12
Now I am not a 9A crimp boulderer, so I've gathered someone who you might know from being a Super Smash Bros Elite,
13
Mr. Stefano Grisolfi.
14
Yeah, one of the world's best lead climbers.
15
Five gold medals to his name.
16
But he's been getting into bouldering the past year and a half or so as a casual hobby activity.
17
So I'm going to put him on one of the hardest boulders in the world
18
so we can see how somebody who has frequently strong fingers does on this type of climb.
19
Would we be able to do any of the moves?
20
Right next to Arrival there's a 7c plus that we decided to warm up on.
21
And then go all the way up.
22
OK.
23
Nice.
24
Come on.
25
Ah, OK.
26
Cool.
27
That's a really cool move.
28
Yeah.
29
Oh, OK.
30
Oh, OK.
31
Beating Stefano doesn't happen very often, if ever.
32
So this is probably my only chance.
33
Yes, nice.
34
Lower part.
35
Ooh, okay, okay.
36
Oh, easy.
37
Come on.
38
Go for it.
39
I think I put, yeah, like this.
40
Nice, easy.
41
No!
42
You want to try the top out?
43
Yeah.
44
Maybe if you could...
45
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
46
You want to die?
47
No. Can you reach with the other hand?
48
Yeah.
49
Ah, yes!
50
How to flash a boulder?
51
Nice.
52
Easy.
53
Don't die now.
54
OK, we can do seven C's.
55
Let's hop on a 9A.
56
But first, Stefano discovered some new things.
57
Ladder is a game changer.
58
Yeah.
59
We use more.
60
Sport Clamber discovers ladder.
61
Yeah, you can even try the moves.
62
Wow. And brush the holes.
63
We just need a fan and then we have one with us actually.
64
After some important boulder prep...
65
He of course did the boulder quite chill.
66
Yup.
67
Yeah, so it was fun.
68
Yeah, nice.
69
And after that point, my little winning streak came to an abrupt end.
70
All right, time for Stefano to embarrass the living hell out of me on Arrival of the Birds.
71
The Italian Stallion!
72
You wanna give it a flash?
73
Flash!
74
Flash!
75
Flash!
76
Flash!
77
Three ice cream flavors if you flash the first move.
78
Ah, the first move, okay.
79
Yeah, yeah.
80
I thought it would...
81
No, no, no, just the first move.
82
Okay.
83
Way too easy to miss.
84
Yeah.
85
You cannot even see it.
86
That's why it's, uh, tre gusti.
87
Ah, tre gusti.
88
I think it could be worth a bit more.
89
Okay, how many gusties do you want?
90
At least like a full vaschetta.
91
A full vaschetta?
92
No, non è vero, non ho parole.
93
For a vaschetta di gelato.
94
Oh, Madonna.
95
Wait, I have to try and give it a quick go first.
96
I know if I'm offering you too much with it.
97
My God.
98
I am not offering you too much with this.
99
What's up?
100
Okay, not bad.
101
I was this close guys, this close.
102
I almost had it.
103
My entire body started vibrating.
104
Come on.
105
He's locked in.
106
Oh!
107
You wrapped a hold though, that's good.
108
Okay, not bad.
109
Whoa!
110
And then take it really good, it's hard.
111
Because you ride like this and then you need to really go into this.
112
This is gonna be hard I think.
113
That's right.
114
This one here.
115
Okay.
116
Let's see if I can hang at least.
117
Starting hold.
118
Dude, let's go!
119
Okay.
120
Dude, that was so good!
121
I was just hanging.
122
Yeah, but I didn't do any of the moves.
123
No, but you were on the wall and you were impressive.
124
You were on the wall.
125
Dude, I'm psyched about that.
126
It is small.
127
You moved your feet and you had tension.
128
Something doesn't make sense.
129
We're in the middle of the Chino.
130
A place where all the pros come to socialize and climb hard stuff.
131
Alphane, which is one of the two V7 teams here, seems to get all the attention.
132
Today we're gonna go to Alphane then.
133
Alphane?
134
We're here at Alphane.
135
It is the most repeated 9A in the world.
136
But this 9A doesn't get the same attention.
137
Fesh, fesh, fesh, fesh.
138
So no way.
139
I mean what the fuck.
140
But I think I'm starting to see why.
141
I mean...
142
Wow!
143
Okay, the goal of today is just hang on every hold.
144
Not even doing all the moves, just hang on every hold.
145
There is...
146
I cannot have that goal.
147
Like, there is no way I can establish from the second move.
148
Burden of Dreams.
149
The iconic V17.
150
The bowler that defines the grade.
151
It has tiny holds.
152
But they are holds.
153
You know what, it's not even easy to touch these holds because they're almost nonexistent.
154
Oh wait, I see the part.
155
Okay.
156
Trade this one.
157
Okay.
158
Come on dude.
159
Ohhhh!
160
Oh yeah, touching it is easy.
161
Like really holding it is not easy.
162
The holds on Burden...
163
Yes!
164
Yes!
165
...are at least twice as big.
166
I'm not saying it's twice as easy.
167
Bird in his waist deeper at 45 degrees.
168
This is a maybe 4mm sloped crimp for three fingers.
169
Come on, come on.
170
Lock it in.
171
Whoa!
172
Straight to it!
173
I don't know if I can stop the intermediates.
174
You are so strong.
175
You are so strong.
176
Oh my god!
177
Maybe I could figure out a way to reach the first move.
178
Like...
179
This boulder demands a style and finger strength that very few possess.
180
Okay.
181
There is no margin for error.
182
I have to like, almost put in like a flawless performance in a physical and psychological sense.
183
And so far, we've only seen one repeat.
184
Nice, Sean, come on.
185
Sean Bailey can use tiny holes like no other.
186
This is crazy.
187
This is crazy stuff.
188
Nice, Sean!
189
And to be honest, I'm pretty sure this boulder will never get a repeat by me.
190
The holes are just too small.
191
Yeah, you touch it.
192
You did as good as me.
193
It was this close.
194
You touch it a bit.
195
Like this and not like this.
196
I pretended it was a big sloper.
197
I went like full on high five on the hold.
198
For me, the holds just didn't make sense.
199
But for Stefano, they did.
200
Oh, let's go!
201
Let's go, dude!
202
Yes, yes, yes!
203
That's a move, man.
204
That's a move.
205
That's a move.
206
That's a move.
207
Yes.
208
I'm so psyched.
209
That was so cool.
210
Dude, nice work.
211
We finally got a move.
212
And more moves were coming.
213
But first, let's do a little comparison.
214
Because see, just 50 meters away lies a true classic.
215
A classic 8C by Dave Graham from back in the days.
216
Bonjour, I am Dave.
217
We are here in a strange part of the forest.
218
A boulder that might have the hardest mantle in the world.
219
Now, now, now!
220
Go off!
221
Why is it faster than me?
222
Are we going to get a little comparison of just how a 9A can look compared to an 8C?
223
Maybe it's going to be worse.
224
I really hope not.
225
Because then I'm in for a bad day of climbing.
226
This is from Dirt Grossed Flowers, a boulder that became this teenager's first 8C.
227
Now it's our turn to try it.
228
Yes, come on!
229
Come on!
230
Let's go dude!
231
Strong flash go though!
232
Really strong flash go!
233
Not bad, maybe this one was better.
234
Yeah, maybe the lower one.
235
I can feel the difference from the one before and this one.
236
Holes are much, much better.
237
50 times as big.
238
We were starting to collect moves and it became pretty clear the difference between 9a and 8c is huge.
239
I mean on the 9a I couldn't do a single move.
240
I could barely hang on the holds.
241
So strong this one.
242
But here, I was feeling like a climber again.
243
Oh, it's so slimy!
244
Okay.
245
Oh my God, I could hear that.
246
Yeah.
247
I think this is one of the world's hardest mantles, and I can kind of see why.
248
Small hole here.
249
There.
250
Yes, dude!
251
Let's go!
252
Come on, come on!
253
Yes, yes, yes.
254
Dude!
255
Those are the worst looking holes I have ever seen in my entire life.
256
Ah It's painful Wow Okay Oh Another move!
257
Come on dude, I got you Oh, sorry The tiny foot hole This is a good one, but you did this move so that's another move So how many did I do?
258
One, two One and a half plus another Yeah, half doesn't count.
259
It was time for me to add a move to the collection.
260
Okay, that's it.
261
No, I mean, it's not possible.
262
Yeah, it's weird.
263
But just like this isn't just about strength, it's also about pain.
264
Each hold is like a blade pressing deeper into your fingers every time you try it.
265
Oh, closer!
266
Sharp rock is peeling off your skin layer by layer.
267
Ah!
268
Hell yeah!
269
Painful?
270
Every time it's more painful.
271
And eventually, there's not much left.
272
Oh no. Oh no, wow!
273
It's just sharp.
274
Are you just using super glue?
275
Yes.
276
You glue yourself together and keep going. But eventually...
277
You have to surrender.
278
And now I see.
279
Okay, now stop.
280
Yeah, let's see it.
281
Let the skin rest.
282
Yes, it's.. yeah.
283
Back on the 8C, I was making progress.
284
It was hard, but I was on the wall making moves, and it felt great.
285
Oh, yes!
286
Come on, come on, come on!
287
Okay, okay.
288
Yeah! That was...
289
That was an improvement.
290
A big improvement.
291
I was like, too psyched that I stuck the move, So I was like, oh yeah, what do I do?
292
And Stefano kept impressing with impossible moves.
293
Come on.
294
Come on.
295
No way, dude.
296
No way.
297
What the fuck?
298
It is working.
299
Yeah, I could feel something.
300
He's 90% sure he's gonna send it now, he said.
301
I didn't...
302
I never said that.
303
I'm paraphrasing, but it sounded like it, yeah.
304
a thousand ice creams if he does it now.
305
I think if you haven't done the mantle, I mean, I don't think you can climb this boulder before having done it once.
306
Stefano went for a final sand go with a thousand ice cream scoops on the line.
307
Nice, come on. So strong.
308
There you go.
309
So much fun dude, come on.
310
Whoa.
311
Come on.
312
Oh, dude, come on.
313
Oh, dude.
314
I mean the hard part starts there.
315
That was so good.
316
Well, I mean...
317
Good work, dude.
318
That was not that bad for the first time. For sure.
319
Like actually, for me, pretty mind-blowing progress.
320
All right, I think we're gonna start rounding off this session.
321
Yes.
322
Thank you for joining.
323
Thank you, it was very fun.
324
Hope you guys enjoyed seeing the difference between these two boulders and the boulderers.
325
Both actually and we'll see in the next video

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
