Roadkill (V15/8C) First Ascent - Shawn Raboutou

Shawn Raboutou heads to Valle Bavona, Switzerland, to finish off one of the valley’s hardest pieces of stone: Roadkill (V15/8C). In under five minutes, this mellow film drops you right into the tension of a true top-end bouldering project—tight sequences, exacting movement, and the quiet focus it takes to turn a looming line into a first ascent. Worth watching for its pure, unfiltered dose of commitment, Roadkill captures the razor-thin margins that separate “almost” from “done.” With Giuliano Cameroni and Raboutou behind the camera and Raboutou also handling the edit, it’s an intimate look at the process—calm pacing, sharp visuals, and the kind of execution that makes a V15 feel both impossible and, for a moment, inevitable.
