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). ### References [1] [https://www.thebmc.co.uk/aidan-roberts-interview](https://www.thebmc.co.uk/aidan-roberts-interview) [2] Interview with [Simon Lee](/climber/1098/simon-lee) for UKBouldering.com, October 2016 [https://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,27531.msg535750.html#msg535750](https://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,27531.msg535750.html#msg535750) [3] [https://www.ukclimbing.com/news/2025/06/aidan_roberts_on_a_winter_in_yosemite-73991](https://www.ukclimbing.com/news/2025/06/aidan_roberts_on_a_winter_in_yosemite-73991) After Aidan Roberts is a climber from the UK.

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).
