Honey Badger 8C+ - My Hardest First Ascent to date.
Спорт
Honey Badger 8C+ at Badger Cove, Peak District has been an ongoing project this summer. I am so happy how it all came together and produced the hardest boulder I have climbed to date, and one of my favourites! Let me know what you think in comments below!

It wouldn't be British bouldering without some choss wrangling at the end! Good effort!
And the spicy highball finish, had me puckered from start to finish mate.
Congrats on that one man! Such a long beast of a boulder with sketchy top out wow! 😲

thank you! and yeh the top needs a bit more cleaning i reckon
Top Storytelling. Keep doin it like that.
Another insane performance, also love the format of a longer video about a limit boulder My favourite move: 6:25 after putting the heel, you drop your other knee to get so much closer to the wall and statically reach to that far gaston.

So strong, nice work Will!
Good video, amazing climb. You’re a beast!
Congrats for the ascent, powerful!
Excellent work Will 👏
Great effort Will 🤙
Fab effort. Just the thought process in working out a route like this blows my mind.
Mega, congrats mate.
Reminds me of the chossy limestone we have here in some parts of the U.S. Insane effort, very inspiring and a great video to boot.
Well done Will.
Dude, what a nice video, nice boulder and beautiful climbing. Well done and congrats!

What an absolute insane line Will! Amazing
The approach to Badger cove should get at least a 6b it’s so sketchy 🤪 it’s really quite an epic setting though, good effort on the send! 💪
It's crazy how smooth and precise you are in each movement. You could have fooled me that it was only your second session on it! Do you visualize the moves off the wall a lot? Or did that come from practicing on the wall?

Yes maybe not in a training setting but I really struggle to sleep the night before going to try a project as I just keep going through each move in my head
Looks like there´s still a direct finish to be had..? Congrats on putting up your own line. Impressive.
Looks like sketchy top-outs with foliage are becoming a specialty ;)

Hi Will, you should ask malcolm smith if he still has splinter up and if you can try to send it, that would be so cool!
Amazing! Burden of dreams next or maybe a go an Aidens replica?

Maybe it’s just me, but with the thick accent I feel like the audio at .75x is so much easier to understand, and I’m a native English speaker!

Personally I find it pretty intelligible and quite charming, but then again I use subtitles for everything just because listening carefully is too tiring :D
Congrats on the effort. No doubt that Will is crazy strong which he fully demonstrated this year. But what's the obsession with the awful-looking limestone caves (starting from the visit to Czech Rebublic)? I mean there are so many beautiful grit boulders/projects to be climbed in the UK...

There are beautiful lines… then there are lines that require beautiful movement, can’t have both all the time. Some of those moves look amazing.
So this might be the hardest boulder in the world?
