【鳳来】ヴァニタス ５段＋(Vanitas 8C)

Step into Japan’s renowned Hourai boulders in Aichi Prefecture as Ryuichi Murai takes on “Vanitas,” a formidable 5段＋ (8C) testpiece. In just over five minutes, the film centers on the razor-thin margin between control and chaos that defines top-end bouldering, capturing the intensity of committing to hard moves where every micro-adjustment matters. What makes this worth watching is the clear story of problem-solving under pressure: a lower-section right-hand adjustment that refuses to cooperate, and the smart use of heel hooks to turn a brutal start into something repeatable and stable. It’s a tight, focused look at how elite climbers build confidence on insecure sequences—dialing in body position, timing, and tension—until the final send feels inevitable.

Vanitas 8C crag: Hourai, Aichi Pref 下部の右手寄せにかなり苦労しました。この課題には得意なヒールフックを活用できる箇所が多く存在し、完登したトライではかなり安定した状態で下部をこなすことができました。
