Daisuke Ichimiya

Daisuke Ichimiya appears in A Mellow Cresciano "New King Lines" (2021), a film made when a snowstorm pushed the Mellow crew from Val Bavona down into Cresciano’s boulder field. The footage pairs Ichimiya with Giuliano and Diego Cameroni, Clément Lechaptois and Marine Thevenet, and focuses largely on long-term projects and the incremental work of solving complex problems.

The film’s unhurried rhythm highlights repeated attempts, subtle beta shifts and the camaraderie of a small group working a shared goal. Ichimiya’s presence helps underline the international flavor of Cresciano’s scene and the area’s reputation for producing both established classics and newly developed challenges. For viewers drawn to the methodical side of bouldering—projecting, adjusting and refining—this film foregrounds the reality behind sends and the value of local familiarity on Ticino granite.
