Horai must be one of the most elite destinations for bouldering. Basically nothing under 7a+, not even a decent warm up. Tons of really hard quality problems, and now yet another v15. Oh, did I mention that the sport climbing there is really good too.

I know nothing about bouldering in double figures but that looks worth a whole lot of V15.

Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance

Looks very impressive! Video footage would be most welcome.

Fuck sake - when it comes to aspiring to do, or even going to look at things as amazing as this, my bank account would'nt even get me to the airport? Looks brilliant.
