9a by William Bosi (19)

"This is my 3rd 9a and all 3 that Iโve done have been so different. The Anvil is such a crazy crag with a 2-hour walking approach and this 60 degrees overhanging face basically over a bunch of boulders. Itโs an absolute mission to get to, and even harder to get climbable conditions there, so it was quite tricky to try this route and luckily it only took me 4 days - 3 last June and 1 last Saturday. Hunger was first climbed by my hero Malcolm Smith as first of the grade for Scotland - Iโm proud to be Scottish so to be the first to repeat it meant a lot to me.
Last year, William was #4 in the Combined Youth World Championship and he is trying to make it to Tokyo 2020. "Iโm attending some boulder, speed and most of the lead WC. I will also be competing in all three at the world champs."
