Elias Iagnemma (born 17 November 1995 in L'Aquila) is an Italian professional rock climber who specializes in bouldering. In March 2024, he became only the fourth person to repeat Burden of Dreams in Finland, the world's first-ever grade 9A (V17) graded bouldering route.[2][3] In November 2025, Iagnemma completed the first ascent of Exodia in Italy,[4] which he proposed at the grade of 9A+ (V18), which if confirmed, would make it the first-ever boulder to be climbed at that grade.[5][6][7]
