On November 2012, James Kassay managed to do the First Ascent of The Wheel of Life Direct, a more difficult and direct finish to the original 60 move mega-line Wheel of Life V15 first ascended by Dai Koyamada. The route is peppered with iron hard crimps and delicate scoops in the massive Hollow Mountain Cave in the Grampians, Australia. Dave Graham suggested a grade of 9a+. Video courtesy of Sonice57
