Julien Nadiras of France has repeated the hardest straight up boulder problem in the world, Tonino ?78 in Meschia, Italy. Mauro Calibani established the V16 monster in January of this year. It took the Julian more than a month of trying to climb Tonino ´78, made all the more impressive by the fact that in order to climb in the area, Calibani has to make special arrangements with the land owner as it is closed to the public. Note that the only other problem in the world graded V16 is Dai Koyamada´s Wheel of Life in the Hollow Mountain Cave, Australia. This is a 60+ move problem – shouldn´t that get a route grade?
