8C (B+) in 2 hours by Alex Megos

Alex Megos had quite some day in Kanoto in Japan where he did three 8A's and one 8A+, "and as cherry on top!!!! the full line "Orochi" graded V15!!! Felt maybe a little easier to me. Super psyched!" (c) Yuji Hirayama Orochi was put up by Dai Koyamada in 2006 and has later only been done by Makoto Yamauchi. Alex used just two hours to take it down! Two more days left in Japan for Alex and then the next stop on his three months travelling is Australia. "The Japanese bouldering scene is is amazing! So many strong people and everyone is so friendly!!!"
