Translation: Bareback Only. See also Gaïa.

Before the problem was put up there used to be a wall in front of the boulder to make a bivouac spot. The wall was knocked down for reasons unknown. [1]

Ryohei Kameyama Boulder | worked 9th Mar 2019 8C+
Second ascent.

I have the feeling, Burden of Dreams [the world's first 9A, put up by Nalle Hukkataival] is a bit more difficult than No Kpote Only.

Nico Pelorson Boulder | worked 7th Oct 2020 8C (hard)
Third ascent.

With climbing shoes and optimized betas, it looks more like a solid 8c (v15).
