Stefano Ghisolfi is currently projecting Silence and Burden of Dreams, arguably the hardest sport climb and boulder in the world. Silence is 5.15d and unrepeated and Burden of Dreams is V17 and repeated once.
“Despite being two completely different things, I tried to compare them,” said Ghisolfi. “In May, I tried both of them (without succeeding) and I found some similarities and a lot of differences.”
Silence was first climbed by Adam Ondra in 2017 and Burden of Dreams was first climbed by Nalle Hukkataival in 2016 and repeated by Will Bosi this year.
