Sean Bailey Climbs New V17 in the U.S.A.
Mellow has teased a new film featuring the first ascent – the problem appears to be in Red Rocks
Few details have been released, but Mellow teased a new film featuring Sean Bailey on the first ascent of a new V17 problem called Shaolin. There are now eight V17 problems in the world, see the other seven here.
Judging by the video released by Mellow, Bailey likely made the first ascent of a project next to a popular V14 called Trieste. You can watch Bailey project the line in a video released by Shawn Raboutou one year ago – skip to 1:40 below to watch.
Bailey is one of America’s most accomplished climbers, with ascents of several test-piece climbs, including Bibliographie 5.15c, Grand Illusion V16, Devilution V16 FA, The Doors of Perception V15 FA and more. One month ago, we reported about a new V15 by Bailey, read about it here.
