Will Bosi at it Again With Quick V14 Repeat
The Scottish climber proves once again that he's among the best boulderers in the world, if not the current best
Will Bosi, 25, recently made the second ascent of Return of the Sleepwalker V17 at Red Rocks after 12 sessions for his third boulder at the grade. Shortly after returning to the U.K. from America, he made the second ascent of a new V14 called Bultitude.
The first ascent of Bultitude was this year by 45-year-old Dave MacLeod, who worked on the problem for several years. ‘Torn on the grade but I’ll go with 8B+ [V14] for now. 8B [V13] seems a bit harsh, although maybe folk strong on undercuts will find it easier,” he said. Watch him projecting it below.
Bosi needed only two sessions to repeat Bultitude, proving once again that he’s likely the best boulderer in the world right now. About the grade, Bosi said, “Grade wise 8B+ [V14] felt about right, but I don’t think I had the best beta so time will tell. Definitely an amazing boulder though.”
Bosi is a climber from Edinburgh, Scotland, who started out as a competition climber. In 2020 he became the second British climber to climb 5.15b with his repeat of La Capella. He’s climbed three V17s to date: Return of the Sleepwalker this year, Alphane in Chironico in 2022 and Nalle Hukkataival’s Burden of Dreams in Lappnor in 2023. Watch his send of Bultitude below.
