2 hours circa. This seems to be the standard of Alexander Megos, the German climber who in this same timeframe has already sent some "hallowed ground" of sport climbing, such as the 9a Action Directe in the Frankenjura and, in the same area, the 9a+ The Man that follows hell. Not to mention his ground-breaking onsights, first and foremost the world’s first onsight of a 9a sport climb, Estado Critico at Siurana.
Now the 21-year-old has capitalized on his incredible speed by climbing Orochi, a boulder problem at Kanoto in Japan graded V15 (8C therefore) freed in 2006 by local powerhouse Dai Koyamada. Orochi is Megos’ second 8C after Lucid Dreaming climbed at Bishop at the start of this year, but in truth Megos believes it feels more like 8B+. In any case the visit to Kanoto is worth remembering as during the same day he also made short work of one 8A+ and three 8A.
