Video: Here Will Bosi climbs the 9A boulder Alphane

At the end of last year, Will Bosi managed the third ascent of the 9A boulder Alphane near Chironico. Now the Scot has released the video of his inspection. The Ticino classics Vecchio Leone (8B, flash) and Forgotten Gem (8C) can also be seen in the video.

Will Bosi is undoubtedly one of the strongest boulderers in the world. Besides the American Shawn Raboutou and the Belgian Simon Lorenzi, Bosi is the only person who was able to climb two 9A boulders. Not to mention the countless bouldering lines in the upper eighth and sport climbing routes in the ninth degree of French, which he combines in his tick list.
