"【塩原】Birth of the cool 8B+/5段 First Ascent" is a rock climbing video (5 minutes) published by Ryuichi Murai on April 20, 2019 with 10K views. Available to watch free on CouchClimbs.

In the rugged boulders of Shiobara, Japan, Ryuichi Murai takes you into the process behind “Birth of the cool,” a cutting-edge 8B+/V14 (5-dan) problem and its long-awaited first ascent. In just over five minutes, the film captures the atmosphere of winter rock, the precision of modern bouldering, and the quiet intensity of a line that demanded everything on the send day—completed on February 5, 2017. What makes this worth watching is how much it packs into a short runtime: crisp movement, hard-earned progress, and the unmistakable moment when effort turns into execution. Whether you’re a boulderer chasing your next breakthrough or simply curious about what top-end difficulty looks like on real stone, this is a focused hit of motivation—beautiful rock, real commitment, and a reminder that the coolest ascents are born from patience, repetition, and belief.
