Nalle Hukkataival repeated Bansousha a problem that was thought by some to be 'the hardest slab in the World'.

In reply to UKC News: Bit strange the way Balrogs is handled in that article?
Mighty fine flash but you have a video saying 8a+ and comment its soft for the grade but yet have it down as the first 8b?

Indeed, Japan is awesome for all types of climbing!

Just to mention that Bansousha is in Ogawayama I believe, as you don't have that in your article.

It shows the problem that had been flashed as presumably there wasn't a video sent in of the actual flash - it happens sometimes - they probably forgot to take the lens cap off - I expect a full apology will be made in due course.

It was given 8B by fred, but a easier sequence was found which is now thought to be 8A+, but the original method is still considered 8B. Wonder which one he used!

Hardest slab problem in the world. I await Dave M reapeating it at Font 7c...

In reply to simonwhittle: yes but that is irrelevant. Doing a problem using a duff sequence doesn't make a harder problem.

I wish Ty would go and crush all these Schwaiger brothers' problems so we can find out what grade they actually are.
