Ryuichi Murai Destroys Magic Wood's Hardest Boulders

When Ryuichi Murai rolls into Switzerland’s legendary Magic Wood, it’s with a clear goal: climb the forest’s hardest boulders, fast. In this short EpicTV hit, he keeps the momentum through damp conditions and stubborn rock, stacking an outrageous tick list that includes multiple 8C/V15 lines alongside a run of 8B+/V14 and 8B/V13 classics, all captured on the ground and from the air. What makes this one so satisfying is the pace and precision—Murai doesn’t just battle the grades, he makes them look systematic, unlocking sequences in a handful of attempts and moving with that calm, ruthless efficiency only top boulderers have. Expect crisp filming, moody woodland atmosphere, and a steady stream of high-end attempts and sends that’ll leave you psyched to pull hard, trust your feet, and chase your own “one more try” moment.
