Ryuichi Murai gets Monkey Wedding done after six days on!

Ryuichi Murai started his trip to Rocklands by doing Book Club (8B+) and followed by Monkey Wedding (8C). On Insta He says of the Fred Nicole classic, "Climbing for 6 days without rest days because African life is too fun. Yesterday, I managed to send one of the main goals of this tour. Seven years ago I couldn't do the full reach crux at all, but this time it felt easy." (c) Nari Tomo

The 29-year-old was #5 in a World Cup in 2018 and stopped his competition career one year later. Since then he has done five 8C+, out of which three FAs.
