There are plenty of interesting bouldering videos out there, but this has to be one of the most interesting of recent times. Directed by Ben Neilson, it features America climbers Drew Ruana and Nathaniel Coleman attempting the obvious extension to Euro Roof, a V13 boulder problem in Little Cottonwood Canyon established by Chris Sharma. Called The Grand Illusion, this now settles in at 8C+, making it one the hardest in the world. Sit back and watch Coleman’s climbing, and Neilson’s story telling, taken to a different level.
