Spots of Time is a grade 9A (V17) bouldering problem on the Swirl Crags buttresses on the flanks of Helvellyn in England’s Lake District. It was first climbed by British climber Aidan Roberts in February 2024 after a lengthy campaign; Roberts later proposed a grade of 9A (V17), which would make it the first established boulder of that grade in the United Kingdom. The problem received its first repeat by William Bosi in October 2024, who confirmed the 9A grade.
