Another 8C by Dai Koyamada

UKC reports that Dai Koyamada has done yet another 8C FA, Vanitas. "I completed my 4 years project at Mt. Horai, Japan on 6th February. The line is something like "Frankenjura style" with small crimps and pockets." Dai has been one of the leading boulderers for ten years and he has done some 30 8C's. In the late 90-ies, Dai did eleven Lead WC's where he four times made it to the final. Later he did routes up to 9a but he is most famous for all his hard bouldering including the FA of The Wheel of Life 8C in 2004 and his laying FA start to The Story of two World's 8C+.
