Alphane

The North Face team returns to Switzerland with the goal to establish cutting edge first ascents. Shawn's ascent of Alphane is the first proposed 9a in Switzerland and only the fourth worldwide. The film features Matty Hong, Jimmy Webb, Daniel Woods, Felipe Carmago, Giuliano Cameroni, and Shawn Raboutou. Film by Ben Neilson. Supported by The North Face.

Raboutou and Groosman

Brooke Raboutou and Natalia Grossman amass an all star tick list during their 2020 summer in Rocky Mountain National Park. Together they put down over fifty double digits including eight V13s. This video showcases 11 of their proudest sends V12-V14. Is this the most stacked female bouldering video ever?

ROS V17 FA

Daniel Woods goes straight into battle mode with one of his hardest projects to date. Jimmy Webb established "Sleepwalker" (the stand start) back in January of 2019. The possibility of a sit-start arose in 2021. This sit-start would add in a 7 move 8B/v13 into "Sleepwalker" (8C+/v16). Grades can be fickle, but ROTSW stands as one of the hardest boulder problems in the world. Bobby Sorich did an awesome job capturing Daniel's process, emotion, and overall journey to climb ROTSW.

Floatin V16 FA

Ryuichi recently made the first ascent of "The launchpad Project" which he called "Floatin." The climb is located in Mizugaki, Japan. It is a few moves, but each move looks pretty fucked up. Amazing looking boulder problem.

Megatron V17 FA

A long-standing project in Colorado finally gets done, becoming one of the hardest boulder problems in the world.
