Bosi is live-streaming BoD 9A again

William Bosi is up in Finland live-streaming his second session on Burden of Dreams 9A. The temperature is -3, icicles are visible, and there is a clear blue sky and he is making good progress. Will says that the first individual move might be 8B but skipping that, doing kind of a stand start, it could be 8C.

After the session is over, Will actually start trying a completely new beta that might be easier and then he continues like an hour resting max 3-4 minutes during the 2+ hours session. On the other hand, he is doing such good links on the original beta that he should be able to do it in a couple of more sessions. In the end, it seems anyhow that his new beta is better although it makes the last dyno a bit harder.

Being asked which is the hardest boulder he has tried, "Terranova is potentially as hard as Burden of Dreams". Adam Ondra put up Terranova (8C+) in 2011 and Will recently tried it.

The live-streaming is like a tutorial on how to climb hard and in the end, he has answered 20 questions which his girlfriend reads out from the streaming. The streaming is over 2 hours and there is actually interesting all the way, also thanks to his girlfriend who is moderating the show in a very nice way. This is the new standard of live-streaming bouldering.

William Bosi just recently said that he felt that Adam Ondra's Terranova (8C+) was as hard as Burden of Dreams 9A. Now, Jana Svecova has dropped a video where she does all moves on Terranova in just two sessions, by coming up with new beta.

Jana Svecova continues her big Terranova (8C+) project by doing the FA of a shorter variant, Nova (8C) in Holstejn.”15th day. Start like Sedni si na kost (8B+) and finish like the second part of Terranova. 2 mover 8B into 8B? And now the whole Terranova, but first some hardcore training! :D."
