The last ascents by Ichimiya and Kameyama

From Italy to Japan the japanese climbers stay strong also on the rock

While in the World Cup competitions the japanese team is the strongest one, also outdoor japanese climbers are obtaining nice results.

In the last days, Daisuke Ichimiya did the first ascent of Monkey Dread in Mukogawa (Giappone) suggesting the grade 8B+. These grades are not new for the japanese climber who already joined the 8C boulder in the past.
In April, Ryohei Kameyama repeated Gandalf il Grigio in Varazze (Italy), 8B+ by Christian Core which required 4 days to the japanese climber.
