Ryuichi Murai: "Floatin" (v16/8C+) FA

Ryuichi Murai steps up to the cutting edge with "Floatin," his first ascent of The Launchpad Project in Mizugaki, Japan. It’s a short boulder, but every move is razor-specific—one of those problems where the difficulty is concentrated into a handful of brutally precise moments. What makes this film pop is the contrast: minimal length, maximum intensity. You get to watch a top-tier boulderer puzzle out movement that looks almost impossible, then bring it together with calm execution and commitment—an inspiring snapshot of how modern hard boulders are built, and how they’re solved.

Ryuichi recently made the first ascent of "The launchpad Project" which he called "Floatin." The climb is located in Mizugaki, Japan. It is a few moves, but each move looks pretty fucked up. Amazing looking boulder problem. Shoutout to Rokdo (team Ryuichi and friends created) @rokdo_team
