Toshi Takeuchi V15 First Ascents in Japan

[@yannicktrudel8214]

Gotta be honest, on the second problem...a heel hook above his head with no spotter and that minuscule pad about ten feet below him! That's a special level of commitment to the project!

[@japanbouldering4582]

The landing isn't visible, but if you fall from that position you will be at the edge of the landing's edge, which leads to an additional 1 meter drop off and then a downsloping hill, so I'd have to agree with you

[@tomaskertesz2998]

@@japanbouldering4582 what the fk? ehh and I am scared with good pads every time the landing get steeper...

This is the music playing in every heist movie when they're forming the crew

[@matthewsevers5862]

Dudes climbing some pretty tall boulder with a dish towel on the ground 🤌💪

[@aidanloeser4890]

tension + explosiveness. 2:10 that foot slip got my heart pumping

[@kockarthur7976]

He was already about to campus his foot to the higher spot, so the foot slip was totally safe. Jim Pope had a way crazier foot slip in his video 'Big Balls & Ground Falls'.

[@TheJeffDing]

@@kockarthur7976 that foot slip made me shit my pants

[@bigslacker666]

The beginning of the 3rd boulder is pretty amazing climbing to watch. So precise.

[@johnflanagan7870]

Yes Toshi! So cool to see all these older videos of you after seeing your first (post-break) ascent of Goldfish Trombone in Bishop! You’ve found the most minute and exacting ways to become a better climber.

[@lemousehouse]

the rock in japan looks so good

[@PhilippamBerg]

I thought the same 😎

[@matthewzaloudek]

You look so good

[@Tengukou]

No spotter and only a tiny 1" crash pad on a V15? Crazy lad.

[@a.s.7160]

i mean. old school climbers used their car mats as a "crash pad".

[@ItsfusionGaming]

Damn all those lines were stunning !

[@jerryshine3106]

Great video. That last move was insane. Thanks!

[@dianoche312]

Christ the dude and edit is a vibe, that was sick.

[@jStoeh]

Pleasant sounding base on loop

[@ManitheMonkey]

left shoulder left the chat. great vid.

[@justingabriele3881]

I'm still trying to figure out what the oven mitt was for

[@LFSJack]

maybe a chalkbag?!😂

[@madmike9270]

It so he doesn't burn his hand when getting hot items out of the oven, obviously....

[@japanbouldering4582]

@@LFSJack yeah, I think that's an oven mitt shaped pouch that used to be made by a Japanese climbing clothes company called heavy. I think TT is sponsored by them

[@goartist]

i've also seen too many bernie mittens memes. got me too for a sec XD

[@Spearit578]

Nice sends! That font and color combination is really hard to read on an uneven background.

[@theunaphotobomber]

That last boulder was some wicked black magic.

[@kriszteblade]

Hell yeah. I can't comprehend the positions some of these mutants are able to hold.

[@timignatov7394]

That one thin piece of nothing pad ... on a highball ... rated V15 ... Thats some epic shit right there mate

[@scottbrainard6539]

His micro pad is awesome!

[@kacperczubacki69]

What for a sick dude!

[@groghnash]

his insta is also insane, so many new hard indoorproblems

[@ThomasLindinger]

nice climbs over there 🤩

[@alexandermarkweber1814]

He makes the last hold look like a jug I don't think that's a jug

[@kockarthur7976]

It looks like that edge is decent, especially because it's around the lip so you get support on the rest of your hand. However for a V15 climber, almost any positive visible edge is a jug, so we cannot be sure. By the way he moves, it looks like the penultimate hold is fucking miserable.

[@DominikNal]

0:38 was thinking, now what..? No way he's going for the tooOOOMG HE JUST WENT TO THE TOP

[@RedSkyLB]

Toshi is the man

[@olivierlessard6783]

Sick sends. What's that song though?

[@Mike-oz4cv]

For the YYYY-MM-DD date format (which is great) you are supposed to use dashes, not slashes. Slashes is usually used with the silly MM/DD/YYYY format.

[@richardbradley1532]

Strong guy

muy bueno!!!

God what a monster

That tiny pad :o

Anyone knows the song?

2:11 foot slipped that high

[@elgulagaston]

titaaannnn !

[@iandonnelly6684]

The third one seems p dicy

[@paulmitchell5349]

There are harder problems at Anston Stones,near Rotherham.

[@decalotus]

If I know anything about Japanese climbing, these are gonna be sandbagged as shit and probably at least a grade off.

[@glyman3318]

1st!

[@Abram.shack354]

2nd

[@37wolverinedreams]

Headline says v15, climb say V14 right under it? Someone at Mellow Central Command needs to get sober.

[@KingColliwog]

there are 3 climbs. They are referring to the third one

[@linearmemories]

lmao bro watch the video before you comment.

[@37wolverinedreams]

@@linearmemories It wouldn't be hard for the editor to separate the V14 from the V15, or just say both in the title, or neither and just say Toshi Takeuchi. Ask anyone in any discipline, you don't mix titles or definitions. Confusing, wastes time, and energy. Try this with money and someone will go to jail or get shot.
