Lucas Uchida Reviews Tokyo Powder While Climbing Tatonka in Squamish, BC
Lucas Uchida, who joined our team in 2015 and has been a top Canadian climber ever since, introduces TOKYO POWDER products. He is currently active mainly in bouldering in Canada and the US, climbing many difficult boulders.
A video (about 3 minutes) introducing the gear by Stasha, who is supported by Tokyo Powder's German distributor WATAAAH. He says that the BLACK Large is the second most important gear after the Unparallel Shoes.
This is the route setting for the World Championships held in Hachioji in 2019. This is a documentary that follows behind the scenes of this biggest competition (mainly the men's final), where only Tomoa Narasaki achieved two top places, and no other athletes were able to take the top spot.
This was a very special competition, involving a combination of World Championships and Olympic format in three categories. This video focuses only on the World Championships in Bouldering and tries to understand the route setting process for competitions at this level.
Tokyo Powder is supporting their project to take advantage of this rare opportunity before the Olympics to create such a wonderful video.

We received some very interesting experimental data from a certain place in Kawaguchi City. It was an experiment to see if Tokyo Powder's climbing chalk could increase the friction of skateboard tires. Originally, our products only work best when they contain organic matter. However, maybe the friction between rubber and inorganic materials can also be increased, just like with holds!?
