Haruki Uemura ticks Pornographie (9a)

What is your climbing background?
I started climbing at age five and begun competing at ten. Iโ€™m 21 now so I have been competing for a long time, but starting this year, Iโ€™m focusing on rock climbing.

Did you send any other routes during your trip?
Nothing! Pockets are my weakness, so Cรฉรผse feels really tough for me.

What is your next plan?
Iโ€™m planning to challenge some hard routes on Japanese rock.
