Flo Wientjes' footage of Floatin (8C+)
Florian Wientjes saw videos of Ryuichi Murai's Floatin (8C+) in Mizugaki in 2020 and got really obsessed. Last October he travelled to Japan and sent it in five sessions. "Floatin is one of these lines I really wanted to climb. So I decided in the first half of the year that I would go to Mizugaki. I did everything to make this trip possible. For preparation, I started with some basic strength training focusing on fingers and upper body and a lot of board climbing. The last 4 weeks before the trip it got more specific with a lot of campusboard training focusing on contact strength and pull speed. "
