started laughing when you said Silence is in second and the 9C test is number 1. You are a funny guy. My Italian is bad so I focus so much on understanding I miss the funny, but reading this time I caught the humor. Love it. If I were Magnus and you knew my name I would be on top of the world excited. You should do a collaboration in Norway. Have him come and play on silence with you. We all know you are better, but he is amazing at filming climbing. Love his climbing videos.
Let's also consider that he did the 9c test AFTER all the max effort Gstrength scale testing. His results would definitely be impacted by fatigued. Especially after doing the repeater test on the scale. Cool to see this video though - thanks for sharing Stefano !
Can't wait to see you try silence, you're definitely capable, and it would be incredible to see someone second it. Also the wide boys (I think) found a different way to do the crack section
Adam responded to the beta they tried! He s saying that he thought about that beta but that it doesnt work because he d have to use a different beta for the section before the crack and it would make it harder
@@tanguylaloy8155 true, and also that Pete started at the end of the crux. Still, Stephano could find new beta just like he did on Change and Bibliographie! I'm pretty sure he won't use the Ondra beta...
@@tanguylaloy8155 That's not correct. Adam said it would work with probably the same difficulty for him. But that he'd prefer his beta, and that the new beta - main concern from him - requires soft 'crack' shoes for both feet, which would make the rest of the route harder. He climbed with one soft shoe for the jam and one 'normal' shoe.
Looks like completing the 9c test with all 10's will actually be the world's first 9c+ 😂 Jokes aside, I'm rooting for you be it Silence or any other project.
Thanks for the really interesting video! I have to admit it was a bit hard to focus on understanding everything in the first tests, since I don't speak Italian. However, the exercises look really interesting; they remind me of Lattice's tests. This 9c test has already proven its inaccuracy many times, but it's always entertaining to watch it performed ^^ So stoked to see you try Silence soon! That's one of a challenge!
Mi ci e' voluto un po' per capire se il video fosse un pesce d'aprile o no. L'annuncio di Silence, poi il Dr. Panozzo che parla del menu' di oggi... ;-) :-) In bocchissima al lupone per l'estate norvegese!!!! Non vedo l'ora di seguire gli aggiornamenti.
Great video! I especially liked the less technical second half and the humorous ending. But I bet you would have hung on the bar another minute or even two if it were the redpoint of Change at stake and not a test number, so no need to downrate your hard climbs;)
I punti che secondo il test ti mancano rispetto a quello che hai scalato li tiri fuori dal tuo fenomenale approccio alla realtà, un mix di determinazione e leggerezza che nessun test può calcolare. Silence! Non vedo l’ora di gustarmi la serie: “Il ritorno di Ghisolfi a Flatanger”!
This test is surely good but of course it does not take into account technique. A calisthenic athlete or a gymnast will probably score very high but that doesn't mean they would be good climbers. Also strong feet in climbing (the ability to stand in very tiny edges) I think is often underestimated.
In think he has 2 options: 1) Knee-Modifications or 2) Visit a famous cellar in Sheffield for a while :) Seriously, what's your plan? Terrible drop knee or technical jamming?
Hey Stefano! Ti interesserebbe fare un assessment anche di caratteristiche psicologiche per lo sport? Penso ad esempio alla "mental toughness" (di cui ho parlato nel podcast di Lattice Training). Se non sei già affiancato da uno psicologo dello sport, sarei molto felice di farti un profilo che tu possa usare con il tuo coach per Silence! Continua così, sei il nostro idolo!
Credo che il test del 9c non sia così preciso nella core stability, 30 secondi di front lever solo uno che si allena per calisthenics riuscirebbe a farli, già 10 secondi son tanto.
i think there is a good chance that silence will not remain 9c. coz Stefano G. is really a lightweight and he will do other beta to solve silence than AO.
The max pullup is not super relevamt I'd agree. But a front lever is definitely super relevant for the real top grades. Most of the hardest routes that the top sport climbers like Stefano climb are very overhanging, the only 9c is a roof.
@@decklundy I agree body tension is very important for hard climbing, it's just that I don't think front levers are a very climbing-specific way of measuring it. Adam Ondra climbed was already climbing 9b+ before he could do his first front lever, so I would say there are a lot of muscles involved in performing a front lever which you don't actually need that much for hard roof climbing.
@@babsds0 yeh now I get what you mean now. Also it would be cool if they did some repeaters for the endurance Part of the test as well e.g. how long they can keep up with a 7:3 protocol on not too big of an edge. Then at least they would have 2 different finger measurements
@@ArielBiMBa I don't believe this either. A front lever is not that hard. I'm pretty shure that Adam was able to do the front lever long bevore he was climbing 9b.
If neither Stephano or Adam can get the test to agree with what that they have climbed, then maybe the test needs to be reworked at the highest grades...
fantastic! but would it have been that hard for you to have made this video a few minutes longer so that the Beethoven's 9th could have played out to the end?? :D
Maybe just 40 points should be 10a+ 39 - 10a 38 - 9c+ 37 - 9c and so on. To my knowledge nobody did max on that test. So we can suppose that it's a benchmark for next generation of climbers. Adam should do that test also. If he gets 36/37 points then it seems like a legit test just with a bad grading. Magnus did a 35 (which would be 9b by new system) and to my knowledge it's his best ever redpoint result in career. Another thing - it shows only strength levels of yours at the moment. Climbing a root is more that strength. Stefano knows that millions times better than me.
Hello Stefano, this test is very exciting but don't test tecnic or mental capabilities, is very motivating... The only way to prove( you or anyone😉) can climb Silence is actually redponting the line. You're the most close in grades and expirience now to beat it, may take time and tries but... I now you will sent the beast of sport climbing, hope Excalibur be next. Pd: Sorry for my bad english😅. Blessings 💪🏾
"The conclusion is that I will train mainly for this test no longer for Silence." Stefano is too funny 😂

Amazing what athletes can do... Concentrate and perform while someone is telling you to die repeatedly. Wow...
ahahah, good one !

If you took your shoes off for front lever like other athletes do you would have gone even more time but incredible result anyway!
Stefano! You wore shoes for front lever- that defo deserves an extra point!

Oh my God, you are sooo strong.😯🤯 I really wish you can climb silence this year!!!

I have a feeling you're doing this to climb silence
But what an amazing job you were doing in the 9c test! So your every climb!
Knowing Stefano’s style I have a feeling he’ll struggle on Silence. I mean it took Adam freakin Ondra years to do. But I hope he proves me wrong
Very funny😅
This test is surely good but of course it does not take into account technique. A calisthenic athlete or a gymnast will probably score very high but that doesn't mean they would be good climbers.
Also strong feet in climbing (the ability to stand in very tiny edges) I think is often underestimated.
Turns out I have similar maximum strength to Stefano, so if I want to climb 9b+ all I have to do is lose 27kg...
ı have 55kg pull up too with 77kg :D ı think his number can go up a little the other tests ı cant go anywhere near though
In think he has 2 options: 1) Knee-Modifications or 2) Visit a famous cellar in Sheffield for a while :) Seriously, what's your plan? Terrible drop knee or technical jamming?
Non hai idea di quanta fatica ho fatto io solo a guardarti… che scalo i 6b come massimo… 😅😅😅
Sei un grande!! 💪💪💪
Seee cazzo non vedo l'ora di vederti su silence
The video we were all waiting for haha
man Stefano is popping off. If he sends succeeds in sending silence that will be awesome.
Preparing for silence?
it's a joke I think, Silence is the only 9c
he has said in interviews that he is going to try Silence. Not a joke

Does anyone know where you can buy the hardware to make the variable angle bouldering wall in the background of this video?
Ricordati due scarpe diverse per chiudere Silence 🤩
The test doesn't place enough emphasis on finger strength imo. Finger strength is way more important than max pullups or doing a front lever.

Is it weird that there's a little part of me that's worried about Silence getting a downgrade? Like, how heartbreaking that would be, huh...
the front lever for the "core" test makes no sence
Ik I swear front levers are back and a little core
He should have done the test while fresh and I'm sure he would have got a better score!! Good effort in any case! :D
BOOOOOM!! SILENCE SARÀ TUO!!!!
Best news that Stefano is headed to Norway to work Silence!!!!!
If neither Stephano or Adam can get the test to agree with what that they have climbed, then maybe the test needs to be reworked at the highest grades...
This test matters so much more than silence. If you pass the test, no need, just give the second ascent already
fantastic! but would it have been that hard for you to have made this video a few minutes longer so that the Beethoven's 9th could have played out to the end?? :D
Time to upgrade the 9c test :P
How tall are you? Would not have guessed you only weighed 55kg!
Finally!
That 25x7s test looks gruelling...
Could you post the test protocol of the first test? :)
Silence downgrade to 9b/+ you heard it here first
You're so crazy🤣
@@YuniorBarbanOficial no, Stefano is
Stephano figures out weird hand jam campus beta and gives it a 'symbolic 9b'

Another thing - it shows only strength levels of yours at the moment. Climbing a root is more that strength. Stefano knows that millions times better than me.
Ma perché rifare quelli già fatti e non uno nuovo?
Bibliographie is now officially 9a+.
Silence is only 9a in my gym
Pull hard and be fun as always
I wonder if Ondra tests 9c with this test, lol
He would not 😅
No chance
Prob maxes out the finger strength and maybe 6 min hang. Definitely not 30s lever and likely not 220% pull
Più o meno il risultato corrisponde a quello che scali senza piedi 🤣
What’s your diet for weighting 55kg? Approximately
Air
Haha, welll, downgrading seems to be a common trait now, and now when there is facts around, obviously the grade can be no more than 9a+, right?
Take your shoes off for the front lever.
🔥
It‘s quite funny watching Stefano aim for 9b+/9c when most youtubers doing this aim for 6a-8a.
55k !!
Poor Alex Megos... he's Bibliography was downgraded to a mere 9a+

Shows the test is not accurate.

Should've taken off your shoes for the front lever :D
9b
Helloo
Go try silence porcodio, serve your community
55kg …Makes me wonder what you’re fat percentage is…
-- 4%
jajaja porca troia!
Time to downgrade all those 9b routes you have done since you are officially 9a+ climber now haha
Damn Italians with the hypocritical mask, putting it on and off all the time. Might as well not wear it in that case. But aye.
Wow what a great idea, we would never have thought about it
