The Flash: Rock+Run Blog

This week's video is a bouldering banger from Will Bosi who's got to be one of the world's most 'in-form' climbers right now. This collection from Will features a series of his hardest ascents from the summers of 2020 and '21 with a particular favourite of ours being his impressive flash of Isla De Encanta 8B, a legendary local boulder problem for us here in the South Lakes.

This week’s video comes from Switzerland’s iconic Val Bavona region where Emil Abrahamsson takes a deep dive into Off the Wagon, arguably the most famous boulder problem in the world. Since his breakaway from Eric Karlsson’s YouTube channel, Emil has gone on to compete on the world stage for his native Sweden and has taken his outdoor game to new levels, documenting the entire journey through his own channel. This latest video is a testament to how far he’s come with the Wagon boulder being reserved for the most elite climbers in the world.
