The Wheel of Life is a famous boulder problem in Hollow Mountain Cave in the Grampians of Australia. Initially graded {{Boulder grade|8C+}}, it is now commonly considered to be {{Boulder grade|8C}}.

The problem, which consists of over 60 moves, was first completed by Dai Koyamada in 2004,[1] and it links up three shorter problems that were established by climbers such as Klem Loskot and Fred Nicole (Extreme Cool, V8; Sleepy Hollow V12; Cave Rave, V13).[2].

Although it is climbed without rope, due to its length it may be considered to be a climbing route. It is commonly graded 8C as a boulder problem, and 9a as a route. Graham stated that it was in a league above 9a routes he had climbed, possibly even a 9a+.[3]

Repetitions

  • Second ascent by the Australian boulderer Chris Webb Parsons, in 2007 - ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3ZnfqPVJlc VIDEO], YouTube)
  • Third ascent by Ethan Pringle - (VIDEO)
  • Fourth ascent by James Kassay, in 2011
  • Fifth ascent by Australian climber Benjamin P. Cossey on 30 October 2011. Ben controversially downgraded the climb from a {{Boulder grade|8C+}} to a {{Boulder grade|8B+}}.[4]
  • Sixth and seventh ascents by Dave Graham and Ian Dory, in June 2012. Graham suggested a route grade of 9a+ (Ewbank 36), stating that it was "not possible to compare it to other boulder problems, due to its length", and that it was in a league above 9a routes he had climbed.[3]
  • In November 2012, James Kassay completed a more difficult finish to the problem, by linking it to the Amniotic World (V9), leading to the highest part of the cave. This new version of the problem was called The Wheel of Life Direct[5]
  • Ninth ascent by Daniel Woods in July 2013[6][7] - VIDEO
  • Tenth ascent, after only three attempts, by Alexander Megos in July 2013.[8] - (VIDEO)
