The best boulderer in Japan and works full time. Give the man a bigger sponsor so we can see him crushing 9a's.
Also the first time I see anyone repeating one of his hardest climbs to spice up an interview.
Totally would watch more videos with Ryuichi. Seems so chill and humble.
👍🏻
@@pepprdgefarm I was on a Japan trip and I met him at a bouldering gym and asked him for a selfie during one of his breaks, super chill dude.
Did he just sent Floatin' again after the FA? Man's a beast
😃
Might be the first person to downgrade their own FA
@@sweatfootm floatin is v17 for sure. That boulder is beyond impressive
I laughed so hard “hey i m gonna show you this crazy FA I did and send it again”
heck yea bro! got to. if you can’t climb it again can you even really climb it?
Dude's working full time and stronger than any pro climber
Ikr, like how
Any pro climber is a bit much, lets say stronger than 99%, maybe less. Still very impressive.
Asian work ethic is second to none.
Floatin' has got to have some of the most beautiful moves out there.. Also the perfect name!
👆its incredible 🙏
V16 out of the back pocket is nuts
I'm seriously beginning to wonder if suppressing your ego is the special sauce to climbing hard. Ryuichi Murai and Shawn Rabatou are shining examples of this. You can tell from their attitude before, during, and after the climb that sending or not sending won't make or break their world. Just an observation.
I get this feeling about Aiden Roberts and Will Bosi as well, they seem super happy to be out there climbing.
I don't think it's a secret it's moreso just more commonly found in the climbing world than other places. I think 95% of pro climbers are all genuinely kind and humble people. One of the things i love about the people ive met climbing
I'd imagine if not sending would break your world, you'd simply stop trying. "Failure" is an essential part of progress, so you just have to accept that. If you don't, you're just holding yourself back.
My ego is so out of control that i felt bad and worthless seeing him fail ... imagine that
Sharma is the king of that! Sending the hardest boulders and route at the time and never did hangboarding just "having fun on the rock". Love it
floatin' does its name justice. Definitely my favorite outdoor boulder to see completed, more people need to do it.
Just re-do v16 for the interview - sick.
so crazy!
These 48h videoes might be the best climbing videos on youtube! I love it!
One of the coolest videos I’ve seen…great job Teresa. And Hugo if he was filming.
Japan climbers are amazing and Murai-san especially so! I went there recently and will be posting a video of some outdoor (and indoor) climbs I did while there!
Very nice video expose! Great work Teresa and all involved. Please offer details and credits for the silent filmmakers that did such a terrific job capturing this 48HRS, if nowhere else in the description area, since they are as much superstars as Murai!
this guy deserves every spotlight. thanks for making this!
Most underrated strongest outdoor climber. So strong!!
Thank you to Ryuichi and EpicTV for giving us this video!!
He’s such a sweet and down to earth legend. Another awesome 48 hours more more pls x
One of my fav videos, the time lapses and editing is on point. Also big love to the Asian climbing community, they're so humble and nice natured. I learn so much from being around them - not so much as climbing but in general just bettering myself as person.
good job teresa and crew, enjoyed this very much
This was such a good episode, thank you! The v16 was so crazy! Awesome job folks!
A general observation: hearing climbers talk about the shoes they're helping to improve all sound exactly the same & every brand has a "softer" shoe for "modern indoor climbing."
Well the Regulus is a generally "stiff" shoe having thicker rubber which is meant to seize on smaller edges and a full length outsole plus a hard midsole. Unparallel seem to have only recently truly entered into the more flexible and less structured shoe market with the Souped Up and Flagship.
30 seconds on the hangboard?! wow!
Such an incredible video!!
Lovvvvvvvve this episode!!!! Climber talks less and climbs more! Be strong
I love the humbleness. Jiu Jitsu has been a weekly humbling experience for me for so many years now. With finding climbing recently it has been hard to find partners that are humble and just ok with pushing hard when needed but accepting where I am as a climber. I started outside and there was no competitive nature to it. My friend left and it left me going to the gym finding partners to climb with. Chasing grades is something that doesn’t interest me but training hard has been my whole life. Finally found a great group of people to climb with on the regular and we push one another but safety and staying healthy is priority.
Such a great short Doc to watch and remind myself once again why i fell in love with this and many other disciplines in life.
Thank you
Beautiful, thanks for sharing Daniel 😍
That was awesome!!
Guys stellar video. Just hell yeah. Fuding crushing
Wow! Very strong! Bravissimi!
Epic video-thank you. He is beastly strong with stronger humility: epitome of a true climbing icon. Seeing Floatin live was crazy rad. Hello Kitty merch 😂
Great film Teresa and team!! A humble king crusher! What a beautiful place to climb too
😍🥰😍
This cat really climbs just twice per week?! That is exactly what I need to hear! Sometimes seems like everyone into climbing has no work/family commitments and just climbs/trains every day. I am lucky if I have the spare time and money to climb once per week. Had been previously looking on the bright side by saying that as a middle age newbie my infrequent climbing might at least help protect me from over-use injuries… now I can also tell myself that there’s a ton of potential for improvement even if your time on the wall is very limited.
i think i meant out side climbing on week ends...he has to be training in gyms on week days....i mean...it can't be ! lol
"I have three crash pads with me"... and Teresa is like: good, you are strong, here is my backpack!
Reclimbs V16 and cleans the scary top out in the dark? WTF???
what a beast man is in a diff league
nice film. great presenter.
I got my hands on some Souped Ups back around Xmas before they released. I find them to be pretty great outdoor shoes as I mainly climb outside. They are the spiritual successor of the 5.10 Team Blacks and the climbing shoe market has had a massive void in that "extremely soft aggressive shoe" market ever since they stopped making the Team Blacks. If its a climb where I don't strictly need stiff shoes, I'm wearing the Souped Ups outside.
What an absolute monster
so strong
A little bit of slab after V16 is just nature being cruel
A humble beast
Indeed 🙏
Floating really show his calmness
フローティン完登2回目ってこと！？
モチベーションが凄いなあ。
とても面白いビデオでした！ありがとうございます！
This man's warm-up is equivalent to me doing a marathon as a running warm-up 😅
ok...i ll just redo one of the best perf in the world for your interview...lol
damn, that v16 looks so sick and he crashed it'
Teresa rocks the rock
I can't believe how dirty 'Floatin' top out was! 😂 "SCARY"
So so scary🫣
@dailyclimbing Even he said ”こわ”
I have been caught many times at the top cleaning the top thinking "man, what a rookie move" 😀
Glad to see him doing it on a V16 😂
dude, how anyone can do the moves on floating without their fingers exploding is beyond me.
11:53 hell naw I know he said more then that why the subtitles never change 😂
does anyone know what northface pants ryuichi are wearing?
Anyone knows what the other shoe with the red straps is at 11:07?
The unparallel souped up
Bro grinds on the weekends only. Guess you don't need fancy workout programs. Ofc he have talent of his own
This is so sick.
I wonder if this is the first ever v16 repeat
Daniel Woods was doing laps on sleepwalker when trying to FA return of the sleepwalker. Can't remember the exact amount but he said he sent it something like 7 times in a single session or something ridiculous.
@@ComputerManDanMiller Oh duh. I had the same thought of if this was a world first V16 repeat and then I remember ROTSW lol. Also Nate Williams has been projecting ROTSW for 2 years now and he repeats Sleepwalker most times he goes out as far as I know. I'd imagine a few others have also repeated it working on ROTSW. Probably first non Sleepwalker 16 to get repeated though.
@@Eddysamson1 iirc Daniel woods repeated hypnotized minds to upgrade it to v16
8:07
This is BY FAR the single craziest move I have seen in outdoors bouldering! I had to rewind this many times just to confirm if I saw correctly. What the hell man?!
absolutely spot on 👆
Can I get the ROKDO T-shirt?? Please help.
Wait what, only climb twice a week :o
What unparallels are those?
The white ones with a red tag - the new Qubit the ones he's climbing Floatin' with are the Unparallel Souped UP
What are those shoes he’s wearing? They look like hiangles but unparalleled?
Ah they say in the video 😄 looks cool I’m excited
Bro is the climber
Does anyone know 30 seconds how many reps, asking for a friend?
Casual day send of a v16, no biggie
Is she smiling a lil more with Ryuichi lol
How tall is Ryu?
full video?
This is the full video 😁
❤❤ I
English is not easy for most Japanese. So if you go there,remember that. Google translate app is useful.
Where does he work?
At a climbing gym in Tokyo
Urban Base Camp in Shinjuku I believe
I got scammed, I thoughts I came for 48hours, and see only 20min
typical japanese boulder. v16 with another v16 top out stacked on top.
Who’s doing the filming? Hugo?
👌
I remember back in the day, like 2015 I saw documentary regarding Japanese climbers and they were often outcasts of society that chose to smoke weed even though it's illegal and highly punishable. Climbings gotten more established as a sport and mainstream in a short period of time.
or his name?
crimp crimp 2 the lip. letsgo
Crimp crimp to the lip
That V2 is NOT V2 lol
Japanese grades 🙇♂️
Why doesn't the presenter bend her ankles when climbing? just pointing the toes directly into the rock lol
No questions about his current projects, future 9A ideas or anything.. Guess the shoes were more important. Gotcha. 48 hours with Unparalled Shoes - Presented by Mr. Murai should have been the title.
you could have at least asked him how to pronounce his name
Her greasing up the holds with unchalked hands 😢
really nice video, but please stop doing this offensive text sub. Its super distractive and creates an unneccessary overloaded athmosphere.
