Solly Kemball Dorey has made the third ascent of Isles of Wonder in the U.K. and gave it a personal grade of V16. It was first climbed in summer 2022 by Aidan Roberts, who said, \u201ca wonderfully rare alignment where the hardest and best climb I\u2019ve done coincides.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 2023, Will Bosi made the second ascent of the problem. He used a right heel hook to tame the lower section, which he believed may have reduced the grade. \u201cReally happy to send this king line!\u201d he said on his 8a.nu page.<\/a> \u201cI think my beta is easier than Aidan\u2019s so I think 8C [V15] is fair.\u201d Via Instagram he added, \u201cI think it\u2019s hard 8C [V15], time will tell though.\u201d<\/p>\n Dorey, 23, has climbed several hard problems over the years, including The Story of 2 Worlds V15, Paradise Found V15 and Poseidon’s Wrath V15. Watch him climb Isles of Wonder below.<\/p>\n\n
