Serenata 8C by William Bosi

William Bosi, who did his first 9b this spring, has done his second 8C, Serenata in Impossible Roof after almost ten sessions. "This has been my first big boulder project so it’s been a really cool experience. It feels amazing putting so much time into something that felt desperate and making happen. With the boulder being only 30 minutes from my house I’ve been able to have quite a few sessions and really push myself on a boulder project which has been a super cool experience. Although the line is an eliminate it climbs really nicely. On my last session I slipped on the last hard move missed the boulder mats and badly sprained my ankle. Luckily it healed quickly and I was able to come back this week and get it done"."

What is next and what about the Olympics?
In terms of outdoor projects hard to say, need to finish Mutation (9a+)! I’m still focused on the Olympics but as walls have only just started opening up I haven’t been able to speed climb since March! So just had to do a lot of off wall exercises.

Last year in Toulouse, he was super close to get a ticket in the qualifying event as he was the only one getting a hand on the last boulder after having done the first three.
