According to Sachi Amma, the crux part is really bouldery and reachy. It is V14/8b+ for me. But it can be V13/8b or V15/8c by physique and ability.

Dai Koyamada put it up as a V14 in 2003 but then a hold broke and is now considered V16 (named here Hallucination).

2023.12.20, Tomoa Narasaki Flashed this problem and downgraded it to V14/5段 after speaking to FA. https://www.instagram.com/p/C1GGUEsPL3U/

First 5.15 in Japan.

Description by Keita Kurakami: The first crux is V9 big dyno, and then you can take a short rest but it not good rest. Then you climb 27 crimpy moves 5.14c section. I felt it’s not 5.14d, but I can’t give 5.15a grade so my few experience for sport route. So I graded it 5.14d / 5.15a finally.

A gently overhanging limestone route.

Japanese grade 4 dan (4段）

Starts on KOEMMA and links into Metaforce Extension.

Starts on Korossaru.

A king line starts deep inside the cave and ends with a majestic highball on some small tufas. The route can be broken into two sections. The first section starts inside and climbs towards the two-pocket-looking crimp on the overhang. The second section is the high-ball part climbing up the small tufa and end the climb by mantling this majestic boulder.

There are no FA yet! Estimated grade V12, could potentially be easier or harder.

Start deep in the roof with a separate hand start facing towards the cave. An even deeper sit-start is possible for does who want to extend the route further.

Japanese Grade: 3dan (三段)
