Daniel Woods: Witness the Fitness (V15/8C)

Lost footage of Daniel Woods making the third ascent of Witness the Fitness (V15/8C). Multiple holds had broken since the ascents of Chris Sharma and Fred Nicole making the climb substantially harder.

[@connormaclean2837]

I don't think you could have picked worse music. I'm impressed.

[@iamillasfuck]

An insult to the boulder's namesake and the original video by Chris Sharma which played a great song by Slow Train Soul called Trail of Dawn

[@mikebranch7928]

@@iamillasfuck That was so fucking epic

Its actually hilarious

I was dying laughing at this X-files type shit... I thought an alien was gonna come out and spot him or something!

Absolutely amazing power and control.

Flipping your phone upside down and watching this video with the sound up is a weird sci-fi experience

Love the send and the soundtrack! This channel has the best climbing videos!

Really love the holds on this one!

That has to been the hardest v15 in the world. I guess we will never know! Nice job Mellow crew.

No flashy editing or arty drone footage just next level end boss climbing.....love it.

John Carpenter music from Halloween. I loved it

[@crescentfuze]

Where is that super tough gaston move thing in Sharma's ascent? Is that really one of the broken holds?

[@eddyertang]

i need answers

[@obscurechoss7425]

He probably is just strong enough to lock off and skip it haha

[@jayrmalcolm]

He uses different beta, throws to the pinch and then goes left hand undercling where Sharma threw right gaston

[@kevans1716]

Sharma always ups the ante

[@Del1Dub]

Bay Area Choss id say difference in size more than strength

[@ETMartians]

Substantially harder from broken holds. Would that not increase the grade? V16 now maybe?

[@noahwalker5548]

Does it still look like it could go post break?

[@lawrencetchen]

Wow that music is like 110% anxiety

[@babsds0]

I know, way too intense for the video.

really good dialogue at the end :P

[@samlauer1]

Multiple holds had broken making it substantially harder, but still V15

[@Ayalatgd]

Welcome to climbing. Better be ready to defend it with your life if you suggest something might be harder than v15 😂.

[@babsds0]

I think the original non broken was downgraded to v14

[@Colin_Barnes]

Sick!

[@orryshamash]

Halloween music?

[@samueltilden1649]

what year was this? Looks old, not because of the Sportivas, but the lack of Jimmy's beard haha

[@kilgour22]

From 6 years ago!

[@kevind.3389]

​@@kilgour22 The footage is older than that. Sharma's send was first featured in 2005 on Dosage III. Shortly after Fred Nicole and then Woods and Jimmy made their way down. So this is at least 10 years old.

[@matthewmollica1547]

Jah bless!

[@adamstackable7336]

Nice!

[@vaughnsigal4560]

What happened to the gaston to the big undercling?

[@milkmanbenja]

I think he just switched the beta. Going for the far away hold first and then uses the gaston move as an undercling when he gets there with his other hand. Sharma is much taller than Daniel so he wouldn't need to go as dynamic to that hold and hence could use the more static gaston-beta.

[@vaughnsigal4560]

@@milkmanbenja Ah yes that makes sense. Cheers

[@rafaelsanna96]

why not v16 since a lot of the holds are broken? So glad to see that this line is still possible.

[@rafaelsanna96]

@@MOXCRunner1 ohh sure

The line is probably not still possible. This footage is more than a decade old.
