I remember reading about this route in a climbing magazine my first years of climbing and I knew back then I wanted to try it one day. _The Wheel of Life_ is such an inspirational line by Dai. I knew I had to get stronger with endurance to do a 60 move roof climb. I've been climbing almost 10 years now and still no where near strong enough for this. I started climbing at 30 years old and have had too many climbing injuries plaguing my progression. Only to find out from this comment section the Grampians is now off limits is just heartbreaking. Such is life I guess.
the lack of pads is insane, I can't imagine how many times he worked each move and each sequence to feel confident enough to make those few pad placement decisions across the 60 moves.
up next, a multipitch route that requires 3 camps over 3 days and nights with over 5000 moves. of course its graded as a boulder problem, because, long routes, vast faces, mountains, and whole mountain ranges are considered boulders now. For thousands of years up till 2015 everyone was getting it wrong. Now we know anything other than boulders don't exist.
In short in March, Parks Victoria announced a climbing ban covering about a third of the park. It said climbers were causing environmental and cultural damage, including cutting their own paths to sites, putting climbing bolts in rock walls, leaving chalk.
Yes. Us climbers with more experience become very specific. We wait for exact moments before feeling ready to continue and require resting when capable. This often includes habitual "ritualistic" behavior but especially during a long route - chalking and removing excess onto pants and re-chalking, breathing, chalking..... It just keeps us focused...
You're right. Though it looks to me that based on the length, overall difficulty, and how little energy the dab must have saved him in the grand scheme of things is so insignificant as to be just that: insignificant. But I only climb V5 so I'll leave that debate up to you monsters.
I feel like if I dedicated myself solely to climbing, like full time every fiber of my being down to adjusting diet and getting coached. It’d take me at least 5 years to send this absolute beast, maybe not even then this is so crazy
John Lee yeah I’m only like a v7 climber currently, thought it over and realistically it’d be closer to like 7-8 years if I like maximized training efficiency. But it’s entirely possible Id plateau before getting anywhere near v16, so blown away by this guy it’s awe inspiring
"Yeah, two crash pads is plenty"
くじらからきたけど想像以上に凄くて見入ってしまった。
Rolls up to crag- look at all these boulder problems
Koyamada- lets do them all at once
EPIC choice of song...

naruto kintoki could you write the name of the track?

The post send afterglow is really nice to watch on this one...Dai and his buddies just taking it all in

Pure line awesome
かつての世界最難課題を、日本人である彼が初登したことを私は誇りに思う。
彼が履いているフッカーがもう時代を感じさせる。途方も無いことを成し遂げた人間の一人。
懐かしく、素晴らしい動画をありがとう。
daaaam! CRUSHED IT!!!!!!
power endurance off the charts
This is Art. Merci, Magnifique.

Bouldering is fun!!
intense.
Such a shame we can't climb in this amazing place anymore
I just feel so sad.

What is the story behind it?
I’m not sure.Very sad.

@@jasonbeaton3368 that sucks that a few asshats ruined it for everyone
不思議な世界があるもんだ
That was fucking epic
魂がすげー入ってる。 かっこいい
What a badass
amazing!
すげぇ...CGみたい...
Amazing
細すぎてで初めて知った数多くのうちの1つ
凄すぎ！さすが大ちゃん！他のクライマーとやっぱ次元が違うわ
That such a long route. Jesussss

WTAF... that is one epic climb! Also watching this in 2020 gang!
super bro
No kneepads! People should climb it the same to have the same experience
5:40 Why is he chalking up 10 times in one go? Is that just a ritual/habit?
He is trying to calm down.（?????)
一度 冷静になろうとしているのかな？
腕パンパン ですもんね
Yes. Us climbers with more experience become very specific. We wait for exact moments before feeling ready to continue and require resting when capable.

The route is so long he's likely getting very warm and sweaty. As he rests his hands keep sweating and he has to keep adding chalk to keep them dry
2:25 did he just dab
Yep
Didn’t someone strap on like 4 knee pads and downgrade this to v15?
he dabbed hard at 2:26 or am i blind?
（＾－＾）
Haha you are right
at 2:26 yeah it looks and sounds like it
You're right. Though it looks to me that based on the length, overall difficulty, and how little energy the dab must have saved him in the grand scheme of things is so insignificant as to be just that: insignificant. But I only climb V5 so I'll leave that debate up to you monsters.
that was a major dab by professional standards
Let us hope the climbing ban doesn't extend to Hollow Mountain. But also we climbers should clean off the chalk.
小指一本はどこ？
一回ボルダリング体験したけど、指先で全体重支えないといけないからな。
指先に全体重がかかってくる
Looks like he's climbing on Mars. Is that lava? Is he climbing on a volcano?
He is a gecko.
彼はヤモリなんです。
Sandstone i beleive. These caves are located in Grampians National Park located in Victoria, Australia

He is one of the best rock climbers ever.
Plenty of super dedicated climbers never get anywhere near v16
Good luck though
I doubt it. Climbing 8c+ requires some genetic gifts. But worth trying.
Lemon if you are already a climber what grade have you climbed? If not go try and see where you are. Can you mono like Dai?
John Lee yeah I’m only like a v7 climber currently, thought it over and realistically it’d be closer to like 7-8 years if I like maximized training efficiency. But it’s entirely possible Id plateau before getting anywhere near v16, so blown away by this guy it’s awe inspiring

Awesome stuff!

無知がバレた、、w
説明不足でゴメンなさい。15年前の物です。
Sorry for not explaining enough.
This video was taken 15 years ago.
いえいえ、それくらい察すべきでした！笑
15年前にしてならたしかにいい画質ですね。素敵な動画、ありがとうございました！

大ちゃんはRedpointで First ascent（初登）しています。
現在V15にGrade downされてるようですね。
