61: Hard Finger To Hard Shoulder (@ClimbGranite)

We welcomed Mr.Koji Toyoba from Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture, one of the hottest places in Japan, to talk about Corona Voluntary Restraint, Hangboarding and the 10 years from the early 1990s to the early 2000s.

I’ve been a fan since Mr. Toyoba lent me a rope at the national setter course. I was so excited the day before that he couldn’t sleep, and bit nervous in the recording. I haven’t even been able to tell you half of Toyoba’s career, so the rest will be for next time.
