Asagimadara

Link:

The first ascent of Asagimadara was made by Tokio Muroi who is one of the strongest climbers in Japan. He doesn't use crashpads and he has also made first ascents of some hard trad in Japan.

I made second ascent Asagimadara 8C(+) Mt Mizugaki!! This problem had made first ascent by Tokio Muroi two years ago. He took more 100 days to climb this problem and he graded it "6 DAN". 6DAN may means 8C+, but I think it is 8C. After all, I think it is the best problem I did, and I am very happy to climb such a problem.

Toshi led us to his recent project, Asagimadara, an 8c/V15 highball. Looking up at the boulder’s slabby ending, I got chills when I noticed that the slopey crimps, pockets, and sidepulls seemed to disappear about 30 feet off the deck. The line had two ascents, he explained, the first ascent by Tokio Muroi in 2011 and a repeat by Toru Nakajima in 2013. As he detailed the history, Toshi emphasized the style of climbing over the grade. Minimal pads and thin mats are the traditional method for bouldering protection in Japan. Muroi, now 43, has been putting up hard first ascents in Japan since the early 2000s, and he is not only famous for his renowned FAs, like Bansousha (8c/V15) in 2001 and Kakusei (8c/V15) in 2007, but also for completing these committing boulders with few or no pads.

Asagimadara is such an impressive line. It's located on a big boulder, and independent of any other problem. You start standing with a three finger pocket and a crimp. The first five moves are the crux of this problem and the second move to a far pocket is especially hard for me.

What a amazing day yesterday🔥🔥🔥 @chonjongwon96 #adamondra and me have done Asagimadara 8c in a same day🌞 I could push myself by seeing 4th assent from Chon and 5th assent from Adam. Thanks a lot for my friends😌 Let's see what will happen next days✨

The problem had also been repeated by Toshi Takeuchi before the historical triple ascent by Chon, Adam and Sachi. And yes, in case you were wondering, they used crashpads.
