Oh fucking please !!! It's called a highball boulder and you would by no means die if you feel unless you landed on your neck or in some fucked up way so shut up
The body position he gets into at 1:51 is INSANE. That must have been so scary. Can you imagine being that stretched out, with your foot on such a precarious hold, that high up? Jesus Christ, dude.
How the fuck do you idio-s always put shit up like best achievement in climbing lmfao 😂 🤣 it's a fucking v 16 and yes that's one of the hardest boulders but by no means is it in the realm of greatest achievement in climbing you idio-
In a weird way, it’s more dangerous than soloing. If I’m not mistaken, soloists typically climb something that is well below their maximum as a precaution, or at least practice the route with ropes repeatedly. This is a true highball problem at the very limits of the climber’s ability.
When I do trad with few things placed or none at all (in easy graded pitches) I also like him go into some trance where it seems the body answers to your orders but you seem to be an observer. It's moments when you need to focus so much because you cant make any mistakes they would mean dying, that it seems like the mind and body separate and some sort of instinct and body memory take over, probably a lot of adrenaline or some other stuff being built for it. Its terryfing sometimes but worth the risk haha
You are thinking of Lucid Dreaming, which is a different line a few meters to the left. It has had a couple of repeats now and has settled at 8C (v15).
Really ? More of an impressive line than this? In Sheffield? Harder maybe but a better line? This is different mustard to any boulders the uk has to offer
@@jackscooter2 A 4 metre square cut overhang on Stanage Edge. About V14/15 highball. I tried it on a rope with Johnny Dawes. We were too old old for it, but we knew it was possible.Direct start to a climb called Wuthering. Actually if Process is V16 the Stanage project looks a bit more difficult. The most prized project on Sheffield gritstone.
@@landomcbride2373 To make that claim you would have visited ALL the bouldering areas in the UK ,and seen ALL the projects to be able to make such a confident claim.
Watching this makes me feel that a proper V16 should incorporate more than just hard moves, it should require an elite level of climbing in many dimensions and I think the high ball, free solo, fear-psychological dimension should become much more important. At a certain point, the physical body will reach a limit on absolute strength, tension and physical mechanics involved in bouldering and therefore the fall-fear factor ie psychological dimension should become integral to high ratings. Just a theory.. This problem had me sweating real good :)
there are separate ways to indicate the danger of a climb, with PG-13, R, or X. Danger/fear factor doesn't and shouldn't factor into climbing grade, because it would just result in soft problems that become easy if you have a million pads. I see where you are coming from but IMO definitely shouldn't be a factor in grade.
“Sure I climbed something hard, but”
That's not a boulder, that's a freaking Solo! Freaking insane!

0:24 "yeah hold on to that."
Hold on to what exactly?!
5 years later but still applies. I just went to bishop yesterday and looked at this climb. Absolutely insane.
Hands sweating watching this. Youre a beast d woods
The video doesn’t do it justice. This thing is HIGH
As a climber i will say, this was terrifying to watch at the top lol like oooo my god
Oh as a climber lmfao 🤣 who fucking cares
I watched this thing in person whilst stuffing my face with ice cream and peanut butter haha PSYCHED!
v2 in my gym
lmaoooo
My gym has a sky drop where a crane drops in a real big boulder new each month
@@EGbean2 where?
@@alexdamico8723 just outside Whitney Peak
True
one of the best achievements in climbing imo

sick video of this one. captured the hard pulling n the heart-racing moments nicely.
I got full body chills watching that top out. Woah.
Watching that made my hands so sweaty
Great climb mate.
talk about a freaky topout. that left hand slopey edge at 1:42 looked horrible. nice send, dude!
Grande Daniel!!!!!!!
Engagement total, faut avoir un sacré mental ! Félicitations
Thank you for not drawing this out with 15min of failed attempts at every single move
v16?? and highball :o
Highball, or 5.17 free solo?
El puto amo!!
Getting sweety palms just by watching
Jesus, that's not bouldering, that's free-soloing, he's like 10 meters off the ground, a fall would be really dangerous, even with all the mattresses.

Gotta love the rush of being high up on a Boulder. Don’t really love the broken leg I got after missing a foothold😅part of the game I guess
no doubt. it's a definite broken leg, and possibly a broken back if he fell while topping out. absolutely insane.
how does one project something so tall lol

First ascent? Isn't this the v16 Paul Robinson climbed in Bishop some years ago? Or maybe they're just simular?
1st and only. A crucial hold broke so it's probably not getting another send any time soon.
The two climbs are on the same boulder but don't share any holds.

Arthur V he downgraded it to V15 himself before any repeats
@@jacksoukup5442 I’m pretty sure it was glued back
v17
lmao me on an easy hangboard set
Daniel,there is a project near Sheffield U.K. you might be interested in. Even better line.
paul mitchell what is it?

7 people have some serious salt against this route (or woods)
