Ryuichi Murai has completed “the launchpad project” which he is calling “Floating'” and rating V16. The send was compiled for Mellow’s YouTube channel.

This is one of the purest boulder problems I’ve ever seen. Just a few short moves, each one exceptionally, extremely, brutally difficult. This is just an unbelievable and instantly classic expression of what bouldering is all about: turning savage difficulty into something almost ethereal, a magic trick that defies the laws of gravity. True to the name, Ryuichi Murai experiences the lightness of being—he floats.

“History is as light as individual human life, unbearably light, light as a feather, as dust swirling into the air, as whatever will no longer exist tomorrow.” 

― Milan Kundera, Unbearable Lightness of Being
