Earlier this year, Noah Wheeler climbed Burden of Dreams V17, one of the world’s hardest boulders. It took him seven sessions across two trips to unlock the problem. He had previously climbed Daniel Woods’ Return of the Sleepwalker, and Sean Bailey’s Shaolin, both V17. Wheeler just dropped a new film featuring his send, watch below.
“Burden demanded something different than optimization for me to unlock it, it demanded reorientation,” Wheeler said on 8a.nu. After seven sessions across two trips, he finally locked in the final move. “I had a lot of difficulty sleeping the night before I sent, and I spent most of this time navigating my mental game, attempting to find a mental space in which I would be comfortable doing the last move. I found it, envisioned it, and when the session came, acted on it.”

Introducing: Yema Spacegraf Heure Siderale Tourbillon Volant Millesime 2026 - Monochrome Watches
Yema’s Millésime series represents the most elaborate example of its watchmaking ambitions, offering French manufacturing and complications rarely encountered at this price level, in limited production series. Following last year’s Superman Tourbillon Millésime CMM.31, the brand introduces a very different creation for 2026, potentially its most ambitious to date: the Spacegraf Heure Sidérale Tourbillon Volant. Here, Yema pairs a tourbillon regulator with a celestial display inspired by the astronomical observations that helped establish Besançon as a centre of French watchmaking. It’s a connection that goes back to 1878, when the Besançon Observatory was created to help local watchmakers regulate their timepieces through astronomical observations. The Spacegraf Heure Sidérale Tourbillon Volant is housed in a 42mm Grade 5 titanium case measuring 12.15mm thick. The curved case exhibits a variety of contrasting brushed finishes and some polished accents. Sharp angles define the lugs, while the double-domed sapphire crystal tops the case. The fluted 3 o’clock crown features the Yema logo. The sapphire crystal caseback offers a clear view of the movement. Water resistance is 100m.
