【瑞牆】アサギマダラ 5段+(Asagimadara 8C)

Set on the granite of Mt. Mizugaki in Japan, this short film follows climber Ryuichi Murai on “Asagimadara” (V15/8C), a rarefied line where every move has to be earned. With the camera locked off and the wall rising higher than it first appears, you’re pulled into a quiet, focused session where tiny pockets, tension, and body position decide everything. What makes this worth watching is the story inside the micro-details: three days of attempts, a stubborn plan to power through the crux, and then the surprising solution that finally unlocks the climb—a heel placement he once dismissed as impossible. It’s a crisp look at elite bouldering’s real drama: patience, revision, and the instant when doubt gives way to commitment, high above the terrace with no room for error.
