2nd floor full renewal completed
We invited three guest setters, Kameyama Ryohei, Tsukada Ryoga, and Nagasako Mei, and carried out a full renewal of the 2nd floor from October 22nd to 23rd.
This is Kameyama’s first time doing a set at BETA, and it’s a rare opportunity to experience Kameyama’s problems in the Kanto region. He has also made some low-grade problems, so I hope you can experience the Kameyama world!
I recommend the problems at around level 4, which require a lot of brainpower!
I don’t know how many times Tsukada has done BETA (lol).
The more challenging problems may stand out, but the roof problems are relatively easy(?), so I hope even those who are not good at them will try them out!
Nagasako, who was well-received last time for his set on the first floor, made 110-degree and 120-degree problems, with the roof as the main focus.
These problems have relatively large movements, so those who are not used to them may find them difficult, but let’s do our best!
These are mainly low-grade problems, but there are also Rei-kun and Yusei problems.
Have fun!

Ryohei Kameyama
I have offered him many offers before, and this time I was finally able to ask him.
Kameyama-san is an active participant in competitions such as the Japan Cup and Japan Tour, and has also competed in the World Cup.
However, I, Shun, think of him more as a rock climber.
Recently, he has been challenging Burden of Dreams (V17) and was the third climber of Floatin (V16) at Mizugaki, so he is extremely strong.
He himself has commented that “I’m good at and like steep slopes,” and this time he is one of the climbers who is perfect for the second floor set.
He also said that he would like to continue challenging overseas boulders, including Burden, so he is a climber to look forward to in the future.
Please enjoy Ryohei Kameyama’s problems, which are quite rare in the Kanto region!
Mei Nagasako
This is Mei Nagasako, who we invited to the set on the first floor about 10 months ago!
After becoming independent, she is a popular setter who seems to set in various places both domestically and internationally.
In the previous set, we created the most difficult levels for each grade (just by chance. Really just by chance),
and I think that left a strong impression on you.
I hope they wreaked havoc on the second floor too.
I hope you enjoy these tough challenges!

Tsukada Ryoga Tsukada
You may be familiar with him from Beta.
He may have a strong image as a competitive player, but he has an incredibly strong grip and is a good match for Beta.
Of course, he is also good at delicate positioning.
I’m sure many people have struggled with Ryoga’s problems, so I hope he will give you another hard time next time!
Shun really likes Ryoga’s slabs, so next time I’d like to invite him to the first floor…
