Rapid Repeat of MacLeod Mega Project for Will Bosi

- Recently, Dave MacLeod made the first ascent of Bultitude (Font 8B+), NEAR Inverness, Scotland. He first started working the boulder in 2019, where he had two sessions on the boulder before dismissing it as 'too hard'. Even though MacLeod identified the boulder as one he may never climb, he continued to work it as a means of confronting his 'absolute limits'.
Whilst the first ascent of Bultitude was a story of persistence across a number of years, the second ascent - that of Will Bosi - was a completely different story.
Recently back from his ascent of Return of the Sleepwalker (f9A) - his third boulder at 9A - Bosi made quick work of Bultitude, in what was just his second session on the boulder.

Incredible that Macleod is sending V14 at age 45!
Especially while not being a bouldering specialist
Dave is a massive inspiration and is on so many different levels too
I’m sure he’s a bit older 🤔
@@bazwax77 nope
Especially with two permanently damaged ankles.
He's hands down the best boulderer in the world right now. No-one is repeating hard stuff as quickly as he is!
The only person seemingly interested in repeating stuff period
@@MrJarastamon Not sure I agree with that. Woods, Guiliano, Aidan, Shawn R., Lorenzi, Ruana, Shawn Bailey, Flo Wientjas are all crushing and have been for some time. And I know I'm leaving out a bunch of others. Graham and Webb as well.
@gregspauldini3139 That's not at all what I said. They are crushing, I wasn't taking that away from them. But will seems different in that seems the most psyched about repeating all these climbs like Excalibur, Terranova, ROTS,BOD. Prior to him the others didn't really seem interested. As a fan of climbing its great to see because we get to find out more about these mythical climbs. He is like the boulder version of Stefano in that sense with Silence, Bibliographie e.t.c.
@@MrJarastamon Yeah but the point is they've been repeating stuff as well. Flo just did the 16 in Japan. Sean Bailey the 16 in the Buttermilks. I think Will is just getting written about more. Which he deserves, he's a beast.
@gregspauldini3139 Yeah of course but they're not the big problems. Also no one else is putting things down at his rate which makes him more impressive. He has arguably set the path for others to follow in this respect. On top of that he does an amazing job on bringing us fan on the journey. It gets us involved, which is probably Also why he gets the media attention.
And I'm definitely not putting the others down they're great. But to me Will Bosi is probably the best at the moment, ill add Simon in 2nd place in that list. It's fine if you don't agree of course.
Dave must be one of the most underestimated climbers of all time. True, he hardly goes abroad and spends time doing diet experiments but hey, the guy soloed 8b+ in order to train for another project. Respect, respect and more respect
Congrats to both Dave and Will! Beasts!
"how body good Will Bosi is"
I've got to agree with Rob on this 😉
And huge respect to Dave, too! Sounds like it's yet another masterpiece contribution to Scottish bouldering!
Will is just out of this world right now
Macleod climbing V14 at 45, and Will going from being a pretty good route and comp climber to becoming the best boulder in the world - this is just further proof that Scottish people are just built different😂
Everyone knows Will Bosi is the best male boulderer in the world at the moment.
I thought there might be more pushback on this, but it seems like we’re all in agreement
Simon Lorenzi enters the chat 😊
I wouldn't say that as a 100% fact. Aidan Roberts and Simon Lorenzi both monsters as well and who the hell knows what Shawn Rabatou has been been quietly crushing in the last little bit. That group is definitely on another level from everyone else right now though.
@@ComputerManDanMiller Flo Wientjas and Shawn Bailey as well.
in a world where Shawn Raboutou and Daniel Woods don't exist
Yeah Will Bosi must eat gravel like cereal
Yeah yeah Will strong and all but can he eat exclusively beef pattys for 2 months straight?
There's a TH-cam video waiting to happen...
Disgusting
I think you should also credit Dave with a Free Solo 8b+ sport route assent, a stand out achievement
I think Id make the case it might be Aiden Roberts best boulderer right now.
It’s hard to make a call between the two of them. We just feel lucky that both have come along at the same time.
damn whose kitchen is that
Sadly, it's not mine - it's Nick's (the guy behind the camera). It is a lovely kitchen though...
@@ukclimbingofficialit seems like a married man's kitchen. Am I right?
@@HourRomanticistwhat gave it away?
They record it in IKEA
I think simon lorenzo is the best boulderer in the world
He’s certainly someone who’s really impressed us in recent years
@@ukclimbingofficial yeah he climbs hard with good technique. In most of his videos he has awesome footwork and really good overall strategy for working climbs. I was super impressed with his dropknee to skip 1 move on BOD. He is not as strong as Will, Shaun, and others but his good technique gets him up the climbs
