Dai has climbed the FA of his hardest ever problem, don't know where yet but there are some video clips from his instagram here:

God I must be tired. I watched that loop of clips about 5 times thinking "well he's fallen off that move a lot of times"

Would be good to see a full video, can't really tell what it does from the clips.

A snippet of further info on this problem from the comments on the news items over at 8a.nu. Its called:

"Nayuta, V16, sanskrit word meaning a very very large number"

Perhaps noteworthy is Dai's age, 40 years' young!

Haha, there's hope yet Ted!

You're all missing the important point, which is that that even Dai is wearing a kneepad... stick that in ya pipe power merchants

Great stuff. Dai always looks so intense and passionate.

Surely he must have done more 8Cs than Mike Adams and Dave Macleod put together now??

 Love how Dai breaks the stereotype of Japanese climbers being silent! His screams definitely match Ondra and Sharma.

Imagine Dai, Ondra, Klem and Sharma projecting the same thing...

It's the only chink in his otherwise perfect, shiny armour.
