Climbing Video: Daniel Woods Sending Hypnotized Minds (V15)

2010 has been a pretty good year for Daniel Woods out on the boulders, what with his string of hard first ascents of problems like Desperanza (V15) in Hueco Tanks, The Game (V16) in Boulder Canyon, Warrior Up (V15) at Lincoln Lake and Hyptnotized Minds (V15) in RMNP.  And those are just the FAs of problems V15 or harder.



Woods' latest FA, the aforementioned Hypnotized Minds, is the subject of  the below video from Sanuk.  Those that have seen the 2010 Reel Rock Film Tour may recognize the problem as Woods and Paul Robinson are shown working the line as part of that segment.

Update: In addition to all the bouldering I mentioned, Woods also managed to do the 2nd ascent of Jaws 2, a likely 5.15a in Rumney, NH, back in October.  You can now watch video from that send over at DPM.

    I hope one day I can miss a V5/V6 move and then get pissed at myself because "it's so simple"...sigh

    That thing looks sooo hard. Severely over hung difficulty I can rap my head around. But grabbing slightly over hung nothing-ness? dude is crazy...

    Super sick rock climb. Daniel always seems to have such a good attitude when approaching hard boulder problems.

    I sorta wish he had stuck with the name "Bear Toss."
