	Another V16 for Koyamada?
		The Japanese Dai Koyamada has established another long boulder problem that may be harder than V15, according to www.8a.nu.
		Koyamada added a six-move, V11/12 sit start to his existing problem Hydra (V14) at Shiobara, Japan, to create Hydrangea (V15/16).
		In its length, Hydrangea resembles Wheel of Life, the possible V16 that Koyamada established last spring in the Grampians of Australia—at 76 moves, this bouldering route really deserves a sport-climbing grade, and indeed Koyamada suggested 5.15a.

	V16 in the Grampians of Australia

		Koyamada called his big new link-up The Wheel of Life.
		During his multiweek visit to the Grampians, Koyamada climbed just about every other hard boulder problem and traverse in the area and established several new ones.

		On 2005 15 October, Koyamada repeated Action Directe (9a) in the Frankenjura, Germany and proclaimed it harder than any other route that he has climbed.

	Camp4: Possible V16 at Hourai, Japan
		Dai Koyamada has established a new problem at Hourai, Japan, called Byaku-dou that could possibly be the world's first V16.
		According to Koyamada, Byaku-dou, or "The Road to Heaven," is the hardest problem he has ever completed, believing the rating to be "at least 8C, V15." French strongman, Fred Rouhling has attempted Byaku-dou and says that it is harder than Dreamtime, 8C, V15, which is considered to be the benchmark for the grade.
		Dai describes Byaku-dou as a 22-move problem broken into two sections that climb out a 150-160 degree roof.

		Shin Koyamada is possessed of a rare naiveté, and the kind of blind enthusiasm which makes a fool of some and a success of others.
		Raised in a small town in Japan, Koyamada was nursed on American and Hong Kong action movies, a steady diet of heavy artillery, clever punch lines and well-placed karate kicks.
		Koyamada found his way to a seedy hotel on Santa Monica Boulevard, a spot more infamous for muggings and prostitution than for the discovery of fresh screen talent.

		Koyamada is giving The Wheel of Life the grade of V16, but with the number of moves involved, the problem is more characteristic of a route.

		Dai now has 11750 points, a number no one else has been even remotely close to.
		If he, with the form he's in now, was to go route climbing, he could very well rival Patxi for the #1 position.

		Having satisfied the media, Dai spends the rest of the day brushing green slime off his newest discovery, a severely over-hanging face with what looks like, at the most, poor excuses for crimps, off which he explodes, trying crazy opposition moves over and over.
		V16 mutterings have been heard again for the latter, although Dai figures that at sixty-plus moves, a route rating of 5.15a is probably more appropriate.
		There are many areas still unexplored, and with the recent popularity, Koyamada, for one, figures that Japan could evolve into an international bouldering destination in a couple of years.
