Nice to see one of the strongest climbers on the planet getting shaky legs like a normal human. Still a great send!

[@MrThidious]

Oddly enough he's super afraid of heights

[@michalmakusa6923]

Hardest part of the route - 6a slab topout... :D

I love Mellow for making this skateboarding vibe in climbing videos. Pure perfection.

[@Metalgear222]

that’s the old climber spirit! all the old school vids had that vibe. btw thall. i took acid and listened to all of the new vildjharta album and wept tears of joy.

[@donkyuhbuhts540]

Yes!

[@CollinGill7]

ive been skating for almost a decade but only just got into climbing (gym bouldering, then outdoor bouldering, now outdoor sport climbing as well) a year or 2 ago and i fell in love the second i found this channel, i watch skate parts/videos every day and the mellow crew have captured the spirit of a skateboard video part with their climbing content (plus they're the best climbers in the world) so when i found the channel the other day while reading about shawn raboutou i started watching everything... and havent stopped since lol its been days

[@MiguelClimbs]

Have to agree with everyone else here, beautifully filmed. Daniel is a straight up human muscle. Impressive to watch. Sick line put up by Raether too.

[@jameysellew393]

i prefer this up close viewing of the sport climbing. With the usual recording from a distance I find it hard to really appreciate the climbing thats going down. This was very cool

[@ss-gc9qq]

More modern climbing films need to be edited/cut like this---so good. Reminds me of the old videos where no one took themselves too seriously (at least at surface value). Daniel crushed this one.

[@CoNFiiDeNTiiAL]

Love the part where you just hear the breathing before the slab finish. Captures the experience perfectly of that moment when you are trying to regain yourself, totally pumped to try finish off the 'easier part' of your project! Favorite video on Mellow so far

[@Coleginter]

dude the editing keeps getting better and better and its like damn this is how u should make climbing vids.

[@PublicNemesis]

Just wanted to say these vids from Daniel Woods & Mellow got me into bouldering earlier this year. And I can't be happier honestly, big respect for everyone @ mellow :)

[@karimsedky3168]

My favourite video so far! I especially appreciated the color correction, well done! The effects were sometimes a little distracting but also fun (specifically those during the climbing) more routes pleaseeee 🤘🏽

[@scottgoodson7910]

Wow that was some sick cinematography boys! Loved the quality of shots and sound near the end, amazing! Great work Daniel your a beast!

[@killermiller6666]

cruising the overhang with perfect technique to letting off a beast roar entering the slab, haha man i felt that

[@bloctribe]

Typical of Mr. Woods having trouble at the less steep upper part of the route but flawlessly sending its first and steeper part... Great send anyway!

[@ciepularys]

My guess would be he has relatively poor power endurance as he mostly climbs problems not routes. He got mad pumped.

[@ddemyanek]

Jesus Andy, you're an animal. Nice climbing Mr. Woods.

[@yellowclimbingofficial]

this is sick. the editing is so good. i love the trippy effect during the rest @4:02

[@granchdressing]

The edit, song, and raw Elvis leg slab footage??? I mean c'mon...this shit is too ill

[@nickpetrunin2666]

One of the sickest climbing videos I have ever seen. Get better soon cuz that was SICK!

[@stefan.h.6888]

Man this is such a great footage. Amazing soundtrack and cutting. Daniel is looking an little bit like the younger Sharma through the first bolts. And hey, great send

[@alexfy7401]

Wow a video that shows the full send and carry out the struggle so well. AMAZING.

Sick send. Very reminiscent of Chris Sharma about 15 years ago when he first moved to Spain. So glad to see Daniel move to long hard sport routes.

I wonder what makes Daniel such a good climber. For others it's very apparent. For Daniel he looks so human but climbs like such a beast. Watching him it's almost like the level he's at is obtainable but we all know he's universes beyond.
