Nalle Hukkataival On The Bügeleisen Sit Start 8C (+)

Klem Loskot’s legendary Maltatal testpiece, The Bügeleisen Sit Start (8C+), has haunted the world’s strongest boulderers for years—and in this short, punchy film EpicTV follows Finnish powerhouse Nalle Hukkataival as he returns to Austria for another attempt. With the line’s reputation looming large and the sit start demanding total commitment, Nalle lays out what’s at stake: a problem that has become his biggest battle, both mentally and physically. What makes this worth your 8 minutes is the raw, unglamorous reality of elite bouldering—skin, strength, and focus pushed to the edge while rain, humidity, and fickle conditions threaten to shut it all down. The Bügeleisen isn’t just hard; it’s beautiful, brutal, and precise, and watching Nalle problem-solve through the pressure is a masterclass in persistence. If you love iconic blocs, first-ascent history, and the tense moment when everything finally has to line up, this one delivers.
