In 2024 a boulder was climbed that almost nobody knows about Some believe that it's the hardest 9a out there,

but nobody really knows There's barely any footage and the footage that is is just obscure Is there in black and white?

Whatever it takes to climb this boulder almost no one has it But this guy is almost built for this boulder.

I couldn't ask for it to suit me much better.

He has climbed several of the hardest boulders out there.

This is of course Aidan Roberts, Britain's first V17 climber.

Aidan, who put it up, he's so good at the high angle crimps, like when the fingers are almost like a claw inside.

In March of 2024, he topped what he describes as the hardest boulder he's ever climbed ever climbed.

The hardest thing I've climbed by quite a good margin.

Today we are here to uncover some of that mystery and find out how hard this boulder really is.

We have arrived to arrival of the birds.

Now I am not a 9A crimp boulderer, so I've gathered someone who you might know from being a Super Smash Bros Elite,

Mr. Stefano Grisolfi.

Yeah, one of the world's best lead climbers.

Five gold medals to his name.

But he's been getting into bouldering the past year and a half or so as a casual hobby activity.

So I'm going to put him on one of the hardest boulders in the world

so we can see how somebody who has frequently strong fingers does on this type of climb.

Would we be able to do any of the moves?

Right next to Arrival there's a 7c plus that we decided to warm up on.

And then go all the way up.

OK.

Nice.

Come on.

Ah, OK.

Cool.

That's a really cool move.

Yeah.

Oh, OK.

Beating Stefano doesn't happen very often, if ever.

So this is probably my only chance.

Yes, nice.

Lower part.

Ooh, okay, okay.

Oh, easy.

Come on.

Go for it.

I think I put, yeah, like this.

Nice, easy.

No!

You want to try the top out?

Yeah.

Maybe if you could...

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

You want to die?

No. Can you reach with the other hand?

Yeah.

Ah, yes!

How to flash a boulder?

Nice.

Easy.

Don't die now.

OK, we can do seven C's.

Let's hop on a 9A.

But first, Stefano discovered some new things.

Ladder is a game changer.

Yeah.

We use more.

Sport Clamber discovers ladder.

Yeah, you can even try the moves.

Wow. And brush the holes.

We just need a fan and then we have one with us actually.

After some important boulder prep...

He of course did the boulder quite chill.

Yup.

Yeah, so it was fun.

Yeah, nice.

And after that point, my little winning streak came to an abrupt end.

All right, time for Stefano to embarrass the living hell out of me on Arrival of the Birds.

The Italian Stallion!

You wanna give it a flash?

Flash!

Three ice cream flavors if you flash the first move.

Ah, the first move, okay.

Yeah, yeah.

I thought it would...

No, no, no, just the first move.

Okay.

Way too easy to miss.

Yeah.

You cannot even see it.

That's why it's, uh, tre gusti.

Ah, tre gusti.

I think it could be worth a bit more.

Okay, how many gusties do you want?

At least like a full vaschetta.

A full vaschetta?

No, non è vero, non ho parole.

For a vaschetta di gelato.

Oh, Madonna.

Wait, I have to try and give it a quick go first.

I know if I'm offering you too much with it.

My God.

I am not offering you too much with this.

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

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
