Shawn Raboutou

We spoke to the British climber to learn how he managed one of the world's hardest boulders in under two weeks.

It’s Friday, it’s June, and if you’re anything like me, that means it’s time to watch all the week’s new climbing videos. Here are some that I thought were especially worth your time.

THE NEWS ROUNDUP: Comeback sends, a promising crew at Burden of Dreams, a Swiss first ascent, and the best recent YouTube videos.

Will Bosi has been livestreaming his attempts on Burden of Dreams. There's a lot to talk about.

Raboutou and Woods repeat “Insomniac” (V16); Puccio does “We Can Build You” (V14) twice in a row; Ruana FA's his "hardest yet"

Raboutou at last discloses one of his two rumored V17 ascents.

The Ratstaman Vibrations project was made semi-famous by a 2012 Petzl video of Chris Sharma bolting the line and working the moves; it memorably includes a gigantic sideways dyno [insert Sharma scream] to a flat edge.

To spray or not to spray... News of Shawn Raboutou's immediately classic V16 on the Dreamtime boulder has dropped months after the send.

It's a tension line with toehooks and sidepulls, and it sure looks pretty hard.
