Routes in Japan for selected grade

Japanese grade 4 dan (4段）

A gently overhanging limestone route.

Starts on Korossaru.

Description by Keita Kurakami: The first crux is V9 big dyno, and then you can take a short rest but it not good rest. Then you climb 27 crimpy moves 5.14c section. I felt it’s not 5.14d, but I can’t give 5.15a grade so my few experience for sport route. So I graded it 5.14d / 5.15a finally.

Starts on KOEMMA and links into Metaforce Extension.

A king line starts deep inside the cave and ends with a majestic highball on some small tufas. The route can be broken into two sections. The first section starts inside and climbs towards the two-pocket-looking crimp on the overhang. The second section is the high-ball part climbing up the small tufa and end the climb by mantling this majestic boulder.

There are no FA yet! Estimated grade V12, could potentially be easier or harder.
