Because so far this level of difficulty has only been used in the case of Burden of dreams, pronounced. The Japanese traveled in March Ryohei Kameyama to Fontainebleau to see the second ascent of the boulder to get home. With success.

Ryohei devalues ​​No Kpote Only

Ryohei is not very clear about the rating, but let it be known that he No Kpote Only rather than 8c + / 9a.
