BURSTDaniel Woods is one of the most accomplished boulderers of all time, with over 20 ascents of V15 or harder problems. In 2021, he climbed the first V17 in America, and only the second ever at the time, with his first ascent of Return of the Sleepwalker.
Other hard problems Woods has climbed include the first ascents of Sleepwalker V16, Off the Wagon Low V16, The Box Therapy V16, Creature from the Black Lagoon V16, The Process V16 and Hypnotized Minds V16. Woods has also pushed grades on roped climbs and in 2019 sent his hardest grade to date with La Capella 5.15b in Spain.
Earlier this year he climbed a new V16 in Colorado called Adrenaline, about which he said, “What a painful ride with this one. Stellar line and rock though. Was difficult to get into a rhythm with it. Had to have skin and conditions line up to properly stick and execute the moves. I think low end V16 but it’s a tricky one to grade.”
Below are five videos featuring Woods on some of his hardest sends to date.
