Japanese climber Tomoa Narasaki, best known for his outstanding competition results, has joined a group of elite climbers who have flashed Font 8B+. The problem he flashed was called Decided in the Mizugaki area in Japan which was first climbed by Toru Nakajima.

The other climbers who have climbed the grade on their first go are Daniel Woods (Entlinge), Adam Ondra (Gecko Assis and Jade), Jimmy Webb (The Globalist), Ned Feehally (Trust Issues) and Jakob Schubert (Catalan Witness the Fitness). Narasaki's ascent is a prime example of what tends to happen when you take a top competition climber out on rock for the day. Narasaki is the World Champion for both Boulder and Combined disciplines and was the overall World Cup winner in 2019.
