Aidan Roberts is a climber from the UK. He grew up in the Lake District and was mentored by the prolific developer [Dan Varian](/climber/255/dan-varian).
Although he started out doing competitions Aidan has more recently moved on to establishing and repeating some of the hardest boulder problems both in the UK and abroad. His problem [Superpowers](/climb/101/superpowers) 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 [Shawn Raboutou's](/climber/671/shawn-raboutou) [Alphane](/climb/1919/alphane) in [Chironico](/crag/3879/chironico).
As well as these highlights Aidan has also repeated or established a raft of problems in the 8B to 8C range, making particularly quick work of classic test-pieces such as [Oliphant's Dawn](/climb/508/oliphant's-dawn) and [Jade](/climb/507/jade).

Before
Aidan Roberts is a climber from the UK. He grew up in the Lake District and was mentored by the prolific developer [Dan Varian](/climber/255/dan-varian).
Although he started out doing competitions Aidan has more recently moved on to establishing and repeating some of the hardest boulder problems both in the UK and abroad. His problem [Superpowers](/climb/101/superpowers) 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 [Shawn Raboutou's](/climber/671/shawn-raboutou) [Alphane](/climb/1919/alphane) in [Chironico](/crag/3879/chironico).
As well as these highlights Aidan has also repeated or established a raft of problems in the 8B to 8C range, making particularly quick work of classic test-pieces such as [Oliphant's Dawn](/climb/508/oliphant's-dawn) and [Jade](/climb/507/jade).
