Japanese Grade 一級

SD start

An amazing line that starts from the lowest left crimp and tops out the boulder. The last move to the top jug is easy but scary because of the bad landing with a large boulder in the center. But it can be well protected with 2/3 pads and a good spotter. The crux is in the first middle section of the problem.

鵜 is pronounced U and means Cormorant

夏の日

A very intricate face climb. Start down low, left of a corner. Hard moves out of the hole lead to an easy but unprotected slab finish.

A former top-rope problem to the right. Take a Friend 0.5.

Climb direct to join Step of Future at the end of the traverse.

A good steep line but the rock's less than perfect. There seems to be a lower-off on the lip - or is it just a back-up for a crap bolt? Perish the thought.

Start in the cave round to the left of Kappa. Follow the bolted line through the roof till the angle comes to its senses. Continue more easily to a lower-off. Check you've got enough rope to get down.

The steep face left of Phoenix.

Climb the face on small holds with short-term help from a decent undercut flake, then head up and right to a lower-off.
