I understand what you mean. When the boulders are long with lots of movements, things start becoming kinda more like sport climbing and endurance. Small boulders are more technical and powerful, demanding new awareness and conditioning from your body

Nalle was seemingly ahead his time. Whole bouldering changed. Talks about of relevancy of 'Flashing' after training with replicas... Burden of Dreams is DE FACTO test piece for 9A/V17.
Wow that is so awesome man. Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea. WOW unreal. Imagine what he must feel like. He must be overjoyed, but at the same time he must think that that could be it. The hardest problem in the world........or is it
"The Big Island Assis" is probably another realistic 9A contender. 8B+ sit start (so I heard) into 8B+/C stand start. That will be quite a few moves longer though than Burden of Dreams, since that is essentially just 5 moves. So I guess this would still be the hardest?
@@sorryforthat4792 This is an old video when the route was a project. Now it is called Burden of Dreams, V17 difficulty. It even got a repeat, some days ago. Resisted a second ascent for more than 5 years.
I know what you're saying BUT... Alphane is in a way more accessible area which means more traffic which means... faster repeats. Am no way saying Alphane is hard or easy, just stating reason why more people have tried it and eventually repeated. Hoping for Shawn to repeat Burden though. Or anyone for that matter.
Idk much about climbing but do you guys think that one day pretty far down the road this might be upgraded to 9a+ and boulders like Alphane will be the standard for 9a? It seems like people have said that while Alphane is not this hard it is still harder than the v16s that those guys have tried. Idk just asking dumb questions since I'm kind of new
@@abcdecghijklmn probably around 50 metric tons based on its size, compared to similar sized boulders of which the weight has been estimated based on size and density
when world class climbers pulling off the ground is enough for a "nice, good effort" you know it's insane
It's crazy. You have two of the best outdoor boulderers in the world in Jimmy Webb and Daniel Woods, and this boulder made them look like amateurs.
Daniel Woods looks like the lovechild of Sharma and Michael Cera
ajaj totally
HA so true
Add some Graham
I LOVE this boulder. I think shorter but maximum difficulty is more interesting than a high grade that results from linking.

Burden of Dreams is DE FACTO test piece for 9A/V17.
and that went on to be the hardest boulder in the world.
The captions think he said "Gnarly Hooker Toddle" instead of Nalle Hukkataival. I laughed at this for some time.
how long did you laugh at it for?
@@bryanbryan6108 Thirteen or fourteen seconds.
Ur not alone. Though I´ve been chuckling at it on and off for 10 minutes or so :D Nalle should adopt that as his nickname.
It becomes even more hilarious if you try to imagine what a gnarly hooker toddle looks like.
@@RoeppsPoepps or just super, super dark.
hahaha "good thing you flashed it" :D
those guys... :)
He has now sent it and i'm getting impatient for the video haha
why does the description fail to mention that Dave Grahm was there?
Doesn't look like he attempted it. Everyone will likely go back now that Nalle sent it though! V17!!!
Wow that is so awesome man. Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea. WOW unreal. Imagine what he must feel like. He must be overjoyed, but at the same time he must think that that could be it. The hardest problem in the world........or is it
It will likely be the hardest problem until genetically modified humans soar past the limits.

yeah and webb didn't hop on the wall
0:57 evil look of the mastermind
what pinch?!
Nice moveeees, but, does anyone knows the name of the song at 2:22?
Pretty sure it's Butterflies - Itchy Kid
Try Spotify
I absolutely LOVE this channel!
Should the be preferred as ledges? They're basically cracks.
Those holds are freaking microscopic!!!
I hope the trees grow back, this was a nice little nook in the woods
Yeah what happened to all the trees? and I guess the road is hidden under the snow there.
These holds are so tiny that you have to watch out for some quantum fluctuations.
lmao climbers in 2075:
I think the spin was wrong when I went for the 3 molecule microedge. Luck of the draw these days
Music used in the video please? :D
V18
Ater seing daniel woods eating it up so badly, yes, i would consider it being, even, a V18.
This what became Burden, right?
is it? cuz will bosi got asked, while projecting BOD, if he allready tried the lapnor proj
@@sorryforthat4792 this is definitely Burden. After watching Will work it on live stream, there’s no mistaking it.
@@phillewis3108 yea my bad i confused lappnor (area where burden is) with the sisu project sorry
@@sorryforthat4792 no need for apologies…now I can look up the Sisu project… I’ve not heard of that one 🙂
@@phillewis3108 i think it was Sisu. it should be an old problem of nalle and stupidly hard
Now Burden of Dreams, V17.
what?
@@sorryforthat4792 This is an old video when the route was a project. Now it is called Burden of Dreams, V17 difficulty. It even got a repeat, some days ago. Resisted a second ascent for more than 5 years.
I thought I saw Dave Graham too
STILL NO REPEATS (looking at you Alphane ;) )

@@williamtrakas3142 not a dumb question at all, could very well turn out to be the case.
@@williamtrakas3142 based on what happen now, look like its still 9A but I'm sure its a super hard 9A while Alphane is like the easy 9A
second most repeated 9A btw
It's been climbed and given V17, all ready for Adam to downgrade
nalle climbed it right? i saw a video about it
Sorry, Adam is not on the same level as these guys when it comes to bouldering I would believe
@@LinhNguyen-tb9lc Are you trying to be funny or whats going on? :D
@@spirit1239 he's all around the best climber. But bouldering-wise Daniel and Nalle deff got it
@@LinhNguyen-tb9lc but he can hold to a single molecule of granite, maybe this one suits his style (not really thinking seriously but maybe..)
Freaks😀😀😀😀😀
Just get a ladder if you wanna get on top of the rock 🤔
Deeeem dogs crustyyyyyy
This is ridiculous! You should use nordic ski to climb it!
What if the rock rolls over you!!!!!??
Do you have any idea of how heavy a boulder is?
@@noe2521 about 350kg atleast I would say🤔
