Toshimichi Kusano 3

The current style emerged during the global bouldering boom of the 1990s. In Japan, a turning point was Toshimichi Kusano’s 1995 article “Stone People” in 'Iwa to Yuki' (Rock and Snow) magazine issue #169. The problems introduced there were revolutionary in both style and grade, marking a new era in Japanese bouldering. Kusano also introduced the “dan” grading system that became the national standard.
