Blimey, that guy in Font didn't look like he had to even try hard until he got up to 8B+. Animal.

Good vid that. Amazing set of ticks, few probs not seen before. That oyamoros, I know I've spelt it wrong, looks bizarre for the first few moves then great.
The guy looks massive, wwe material right there 

[mrjonathanr]

Like a slightly harder version of Fish Arête.

Beast! Anyone know his name?

[joble]

It's griffin whiteside, total beast but really nice guy.  We were staying at the same gite as him.  Not much he didn't do

Beast

I particularly like the way he just simply crushes anything, but doesn't feel the need to use his heels in really pointless and awkward ways, just for the sake of it.

[shurt]

gulp. he seems to be able to slap in slow motion from sloper to sloper. must be the size of his arms....

[Mr_Cus]

More soloing than bouldering but i really liked this.  The guy is a machine!

[spid3rz]

Really cool video, I bet a bit poo came out at 10.55...

Incredible looking problem

Was just going to post this. Crux move looks horrible, video is mesmerising, rock looks amazing.

The key to success was obviously ditching the red trousers. That and climbing on the 31th of March.

[Luke Owens]

Ace vid, good to see the full struggle. Dai is a beast!

[Denbob99]

What rock type is that he's climbing?

[Fiend]

Compressed tree bark.

[GCW]

You can't help but like Dai.

I particularly liked his accusatory look at the failed toe hook at 10:00.  Something I recognise all too much!!

[jwi]

Appreciated the Japanese subtitles. I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't understand a word of what Dai is saying.

[DAVETHOMAS90]

Not only is that a beautiful video, but I also get a bit of ASMR from the sounds:

Wonderful!

Until about @15.18 I was thinking "you see, Shark would have been using a ladder at that point".

Great video,  love to see the process of him working it.

Why do filmmakers feel the need to burst all the built up tension by putting up V14/V15 FA just before the successful ascent? Is there a perceived need for this? In my opinion it's much more satisfying as a viewer for the name/grade to be faded in just after top out.

Could you imagine if you were watching The Usual Suspects and just before he walks out a big flashing banner said "Kaiser Soze"...

This is also my pet hate, which bizarrely seems to have become standard practice.  Load of footage of buildup and attempts, then flash the name of the problem onscreen just as the guy (or gal) pull his (or her) arse off the ground on the successful ascent, just to completely shatter any sense of tension or uncertainty which has been built up.

[Durbs]

True dat - is very annoying.
The only exception being "Flash Attempt" which leaves the will they/won't they in touch.

Nice vid though

[Fultonius]

Yeah, I can deal with Flash Attempt - as you say, the outcome is still unknown.
