<p>After releasing a video of the ascent [3] the YouTube channel <em>Some Climbing News</em> analysed the footage. [2] The channel alleged that the video had been edited to create the impression of a complete ascent, rather than presenting an uncut recording of the climb. When asked to provide the unedited footage Boes declined to do so, explaining that it had been filmed by a cameraman who was no longer contactable, a claim the channel regarded as unconvincing. In support of its allegation that Boes had not completed the problem, the channel cited scepticism from other members of the Dutch climbing community. At the time of writing, the only uncut footage available online of Boes climbing hard is <a href="/climb/162/riders-on-the-storm" rel="noopener noreferrer">Riders on the Storm</a> (8B).</p>

Rogora is also one of the strongest female sport climbers in the world, having climbed routes graded up to 9b, and achieved several historic milestones. In 2021, she became only the third woman to redpoint a 9b route, and in 2025 she made history as the first woman to onsight an 8c+ route.

|
Before
<p>Oriane Bertone is one of the most successful comp climbers of the 2020s and represented France at the Paris Olympics in 2024. She was also a Bleausard child prodigy, ticking many of the forest’s hard classics and was the youngest person to climb 8B+ with her ascent of <a href="/climb/793/golden-shadow" rel="noopener noreferrer">Golden Shadow</a> in Rocklands, aged 12.</p>
<p>Bertone was born in Nice and grew up on the French island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean in a family that loved the outdoors:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>When you are a child, you just want to climb everywhere in trees and walls. That is what was fun about it. It was just natural. I started climbing outside and being outside just felt amazing. I've always liked nature, and we used to go hiking all the time with my parents.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Having dominated the youth comps in 2019, in 2020, aged 15, she focused again on rock where highlights included the first ascents of <a href="/climb/2268/satan-i-helvete-(bas)" rel="noopener noreferrer">Satan i Helvete (Bas)</a> (8B+) and <a href="/climb/8054/panonoramix-et-les-cyclopes" rel="noopener noreferrer">Panonoramix et les Cyclopes</a> (8c). The following year, the focus returned to comps, placing second in two boulder world cups, but she still found time to make a rapid repeat of <a href="/climb/2150/super-tanker" rel="noopener noreferrer">Super Tanker</a> (8B+). </p>
<p>Over the next five years Bertone racked up over a dozen IFSC podium finishes, with her first win in Prague in 2023. In 2024 she made the finals of the Paris Olympics, placing 8th. In 2026 she won the inaugural Pro Climbing League bouldering event in London and made the first female ascent of <a href="/climb/145/gecko-(assis)" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gecko (assis)</a> (8B+).</p>
<p>Her younger brother <a href="/climber/1648/max-bertone" rel="noopener noreferrer">Max Bertone</a> is also a notable comp and outdoor climber.</p>

Having dominated the youth comps in 2019, in 2020, aged 15, she focused again on rock where highlights included the first ascents of [Satan i Helvete (Bas)](/climb/2268/satan-i-helvete-(bas)) (8B+) and [Panonoramix et les Cyclopes](/climb/8054/panonoramix-et-les-cyclopes) (8c). The following year, the focus returned to comps, placing second in two boulder world cups, but she still found time to make a rapid repeat of [Super Tanker](/climb/2150/super-tanker) (8B+).
Over the next five years Bertone racked up over a dozen IFSC podium finishes, with her first win in Prague in 2023. In 2024 she made the finals of the Paris Olympics, placing 8th. In 2026 she won the inaugural Pro Climbing League bouldering event in London and made the first female ascent of [Gecko (assis)](/climb/145/gecko-(assis)) (8B+).
Her younger brother [Max Bertone](/climber/1648/max-bertone) is also a notable comp and outdoor climber.

After
Oriane Bertone is one of the most successful comp climbers of the 2020s and represented France at the Paris Olympics in 2024. She was also a *Bleausard* child prodigy, ticking many of the forest’s hard classics, and was the youngest person to climb 8B+ with her ascent of [Golden Shadow](/climb/793/golden-shadow) in Rocklands, aged 12.
Bertone was born in Nice and grew up on the French island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean in a family that loved the outdoors:
> When you are a child, you just want to climb everywhere in trees and walls. That is what was fun about it. It was just natural. I started climbing outside and being outside just felt amazing. I've always liked nature, and we used to go hiking all the time with my parents.
