Shawn Raboutou (born April 19, 1998) is an American rock climber.^[1] In 2022, he became one of the only people to climb the bouldering grade of V17 (9A), a feat which he repeated only months later.^[2]^[3]

Early life

Shawn Raboutou was born in Boulder, Colorado on April 19, 1998. He is the son of former professional climbers Didier Raboutou [fr] and Robyn Erbesfield-Raboutou; his younger sister is Brooke Raboutou, a competition climber.^[4] In 2011, when Raboutou was 13 years old, he climbed Welcome to Tijuana, a 5.14b (8c) graded sport climbing route in Spain.^[5]

Climbing career

Bouldering

On April 6, 2022, Raboutou made the first ascent of Alphane, a V17 (9A) boulder problem in Chironico, Switzerland, although he didn’t announce his ascent until August 2022. Later on in 2022, Raboutou announced his first ascent of Megatron, another V17 (9A) boulder in Colorado, making him the first climber in history to climb two different V17-grade boulder problems.^[6]^[7]^{[better source needed]}

Competition climbing

Between 2015 and 2017, Raboutou participated in the IFSC World Cup circuit, although he did not win any medals. He then took time off from competition climbing to focus on bouldering outside. In 2022 he returned to the competition scene in the North American Cup series and took home a silver medal.^[1]
