Before
The first 9c in the USA.
After a quick shake at the anchors of [Lee Majors](/climb/5174/lee-majors) you do a ~7C+ boulder to a reasonable rest into an ~8B boulder. There are varying reports on this grade breakdown, others have suggested it's more like 9a+~8A~8C

Before
<p>Aidan Roberts is a climber from the UK. He grew up in the Lake District and was mentored by the prolific developer <a href="/climber/255/dan-varian" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dan Varian</a>.</p>
<p>He started out doing competitions but has more recently moved on to establishing and repeating some of the hardest boulder problems both in the UK and overseas. His problem <a href="/climb/101/superpowers" rel="noopener noreferrer">Superpowers</a> in the Lake District is widely considered the UK's first 8C+. As well as being the first Brit to climb 8C+, he was also the first to climb 9A with his repeat of <a href="/climber/671/shawn-raboutou" rel="noopener noreferrer">Shawn Raboutou's</a> <a href="/climb/1919/alphane" rel="noopener noreferrer">Alphane</a> in <a href="/crag/3879/chironico" rel="noopener noreferrer">Chironico</a>.</p>
<p>2024 was a particularly good year for Aidan, with him establishing first ascents of his two hardest projects to date - <a href="/climb/2862/spots-of-time" rel="noopener noreferrer">Spots of Time</a> and <a href="/climb/2596/arrival-of-the-birds" rel="noopener noreferrer">Arrival of the Birds</a>, both at 9A/V17. Aidan described Arrival as extremely close to his limit while still being in his style. This has led many to speculate that it could sit at the very top end of the grade.</p>
<p>In September 2024, Aidan made the spontaneous decision to set sail across the Atlantic Ocean. He spent multiple months travelling by sea to South America before continuing north by public transport all the way to California. As the winter of 2024/25 arrived, Aidan made his way to Yosemite, and barely left the valley for the entire winter.</p>
<p>In Yosemite, he sent a handful of hard problems such as <a href="/climb/2977/the-dark-side" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Dark Side</a> and <a href="/climb/5475/rhythm-and-reason" rel="noopener noreferrer">Rhythm and Reason</a>. However, Aidan was most motivated by some potentially next-level projects, notably the <a href="https://climbing-history.org/climb/6440/six-degrees-project" rel="noopener noreferrer">Six Degrees Project</a>.</p>
<p>Although he had only planned to visit the US for a year, he has since decided to settle in California and pursue his Yosemite projects. Outside of climbing, Aidan co-hosts the <a href="/library/collection/18/the-careless-talk-climbing-podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer">Careless Talk Climbing Podcast</a> with <a href="/climber/272/sam-prior" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sam Prior</a>.</p>
