Keita on Hydra
By : Serviette

If you followed our Japan trip in 2006, you might remember the river side area of Shiobara. That was the last placed we visited and Jason put up a problem on a tall yellow face with dark streak.
Well, hidden underneath that big boulder are many of Dai Koyamada's testpieces. Yuji and Jason had a hard time linking any of the moves (while warming up) but Dai just loves those long roofs and Shiobara now hosts some of Japan hardest problems. Check out this video Keita Mogaki sending Hydra, a stout V14 that has seen a few repeats.
