New V15 in France and Japan

-

Charles Albert climbed a new V15 in Gros Sablons at Fontainebl­eau after projecting it for over a year and called it La Révolution­naire. He sent it barefoot. Toshi Takeuchi made the f irst ascent of Babylon V15 in Toyota, Japan. After the send, he said, “Yesterday, I did one of the best and hardest boulder problems I’ve ever done. I managed to do a long-standing project in Toyota. I first tried it two years ago and sent it yesterday. In my opinion, it has 11 moves of hard V14 and 12 moves of V11 for a total of 23 moves and a final grad of V15.”
