8C+ by Daisuke Ichimiya

Daisuke Ichimiya has done his first 8C+ by repeating Daniel Woods' Creature from the black lagoon in RMNP and is #3 in the ranking game. "I took seven days. 3rd and 4th move was hard for me, so I trained to pull up on those holds! I also practiced many other moves and the knee bar." (c) Chikara Ishizuka The Japanese man, who has been in Colorado for 40 days, says the environment is so good with all these strong climbers has three more days and hopes to do some more hard stuff. Once back, he might start competing again.
