William Bosi has done it. After intensive preparation, William ‘Will’ Bosi was able to climb the next 9A boulder with ‘Spots of Time’. The boulder from local Aidan Roberts is located in the Lake District in the north of England and was first climbed by Aidan at the beginning of the year.
Spots of Time 9A/V17 • Aidan Roberts Climbing Britain’s Hardest Boulder
Will was able to secure the first repetition in October.
Super psyched to get the 2nd ascent of this king line on Saturday. Thanks @aidan.roberts98 for establishing one of the best hard lines I’ve ever tried! I’ll talk more in future posts, send video coming Wednesday.
Here is the video of his ascent:
Last year, Will managed the second repetition of the Swiss top boulder ‘Alphane’ in the Swiss bouldering area ‘Chironico ’ in Ticino. The first confirmed 9A boulder in the world.
