@@benharrington1652 how can he me the new ondre if hes literally the same age lol. thats like saying messi was the new cr7? if he was different generations maybe
@@pelfinho He definitely is, but If Stephano sends both Silence and Burden I think he has a very valid claim to being the current world nr 1. He has done a 9b+ that Adam failed (Perfecto Mundo), and also could've had a 9c claim if he hadn't downgraded Megos' Bibliographie. So doing both of the ground breaking climbs of this generation should at the very least put him in contention with Adam as world nr 1. But this is all hypothetical of course, as of now Adam is still nr 1, but Stephano is without a doubt the clear nr 2.
I like how Stephano went and tried some hard boulders some videos ago and was like "No, too hard for me but this was fun" And now he's done all the moves on the hardest boulder in the world. Talk about progress damn!
I am learning so much from his try hard, expect nothing attitude. He has made so much progress as a climber just throwing him self at any style catching his interest
the "lead climber in disguise" and wills bad italian impression truly made my laugh out loud could you imagine if stefano sent silence and burden in the next year or two??? 👀👀 youve got this!!
It's kinda funny how after years of no one even _touching_ this boulder, it seems like a whole bunch of people are suddenly rushing in for the first repeats now, all at the same time
I feel like this was considered very untouchable without the years that NH put into it, but now that there are other V17s it seems more accessible and therefore worth the trip.
A few reasons I can think of: Trees used to trap humidity around the boulder, keeping it from being dry. A lot of those trees were cleared allowing for more dry days. Other V17s have been proposed/sent, giving people the belief that they can do it. Replicas have made it easier to project the boulder without the need for travel/good conditions. Covid has delayed a lot of peoples' traveling in general so maybe some people who would have gone a few years ago waited until now to do it. Also, some people have been trying it, just with not that much press. Toru has been on it for like 4 seasons. Bosi's live streams and Shawn's videos gave it more attention.
Seriously. Been watching these stupid climbing videos for over 20 years have nearly never been entertained by anyone as I am by Stefano. Dude puts on a good show.
Stefano: "Today is third day on the boulder, and I have two goals in mind." Me: "Yes, obviously your goal is to do the first move and then do moves 2-4 in row." Stefano: "First one and most important one, I will campus at least one move..." Me: "But that's not even... But why would you... Oh nevermind" :D
Great progress for just 5 sessions on the actual boulder! definitely looks possible for you. Most moves you did it quite calm like if it was lead cleambing ! Hopefully soon Stefano!
When there's a new video from Stefano (or Shawn, or Will), I'm always so happy to watch it. Good climbing with nice dudes that have fun, are smiling, have a positive vibe. Nobody's getting pissed because of not sending, rarely shirts-off bullshit, nobody's throwing shoes. Keep the good vibe, boys
This was a terrific video. Thanks for keeping things so fun while also working so amazingly hard. This is some of the best climbing content online right now for sure!
Subscriber and Video quality ratio is super off, where are the followers!!! One of Best climbing channels on RU-vid right now, love the comedy, keep it up :-)
Stefano. So proud of you for getting all the moves! Just got to link it all now and be the third person to do 'Burden of Dreams!' Looking so forward to it. Keep up the good work!
Stefano is such a positive and nice personality - he is definitely my favorite Pro-Climber. And he has this fantastic sense of humour 😋. I wish him all the best for all his projects.
One of the best collabs EVER!!! Love that Stefano took some risk and it seems like it’s definitely paying off!!! And his teams film making just keeps getting better!
Not only one of the strongest climbers, but also one of the most down to earth and the one with the funniest climbing videos on RU-vid! Always love your content.. hope you can send your projects soon!
Wow, amazing progress. And these boulderers seemed to forget you are a lead climber, the beanie worked its magic. Also amazing camera work, a great intro, some really cool shots. And the colors seem so much more natural in this video, unlike the overly dark colors often found in many other videos. Very cool work from your team
Wonderful to hear you excited about bouldering! You’re already a world class lead climber, might as well try a couple hard boulders every now and then 😁
This video and stefanos channel in general is honestly the best climbing content on the internet. amazing climbing and editing, super funny and super wholesome
I think this video does a great job of displaying just how desperate and difficult some of the moves are. The camera angles make everything look so far.
