Frenchman Jules Marchaland has set himself the crazy goal of climbing 100 8A boulders on Kilterboard in a single session. This video shows his crazy attempt.
The 23 year old Jules Marchaland is no unknown quantity. While he struggles to climb into the top ten in the competition circuit, he is all the more successful on the rock. Routes like Three degrees of separation, Super Crackinette or First ley, all rated 9a+, can be found in his ticklist.
This project completely destroyed me for a week. Be safe if you want to try it.

Recently, however, the Frenchman had another idea. He asked himself whether it would be possible to climb 100 8A boulders on Kilter board in a single session. In December 2024, the time had come and Marchaland made an attempt.
Will he really manage 100 boulders? Or even more than 100? Or will it only be 30, 50 or 80? Jules Marchaland himself had no idea how his "project" would turn out. We can already reveal one thing: the tension remained high right up to the end of the eight-hour marathon.
Can Jules Marchaland do 100 8A boulders in one session?
