Paradise Lost 8B/8B+ Sustenpass

Dave MacLeod heads to Switzerland’s Sustenpass for a quick, focused session on Paradise Lost (8B/8B+), a hard bouldering testpiece where every move counts. In just over two minutes, the film drops you straight onto crisp rock, steep power, and the quiet intensity of a repeat done with purpose. What makes this worth watching is how much gets communicated with so little: precise body tension, efficient pacing, and the calm commitment it takes to execute at the V14 level. It’s a compact hit of high-end bouldering—ideal for a burst of motivation, a study in movement economy, or a reminder that real performance is built on repetition, training, and trust in the process.
