Rei Kawamata completes the 5th Dan/V14 climb of "Dakine"

Climber Rei Kawamata climbed "Dakine," a 5th grade/V14 difficulty level, at Hinokage Boulders in Hinokage Town, Nishiusuki District, Miyazaki Prefecture.

Kawamata posted the following thoughts on his Instagram:

" The rock is big and cool and I really love it.
I was exhausted after three consecutive climbs and my fingers were torn, but I managed to make it to the top ✔︎
It may be a little gentler for a 5th dan.
