Toru Nakajima bloca 8C y 8B+ en Suiza

El pasado miércoles, Toru Nakajima se encargó de una nueva repetición de The Story of Two Worlds -las dos últimas habían sido de Giuliano Cameroni y Gabri Moroni-, 8C en Cresciano, a pesar de que las condiciones distaban de ser ideales puesto que estaba a 20º C. En total, le costó siete sesiones. "Creo que no hay el mismo tipo de boulders en el mundo y yo estoy contento de hacer semejante boulder. ¡Increíble!" El japonés, quien ya tenía tres 8C's en su libreta -'Tokoyo' en Kasagi, 'The Big Island' en Fontainebleau y 'Asagimadara' en Mt. Mizugaki- sigue con la racha y ayer se agenció Big Paw, 8B+ en Chironico (en la foto). Es posible que oigamos más de él en los próximos días puesto que se quedará en Europa un par de semanas más.
