Daniel Woods in Shiobara

Daniel Woods in Shiobara drops you into Japan’s iconic Shiobara boulders alongside one of the strongest climbers of his generation. Filmed by THE NORTH FACE JAPAN, this 31-minute session follows Woods as he teams up with local legends Yuji Hirayama and Akiyo Noguchi for two focused days on steep, powerful problems: HYDRA (V13), CARTHARSIS (V14), and the hard-earned finale, HYDRANGIA (V15). What makes this film so watchable is its mix of raw effort and clean progression—real attempts, real conditions, and the small breakthroughs that turn a line from “impossible” into “done.” If you love modern bouldering, you’ll get a front-row seat to top-end movement, skin-on-stone commitment, and the kind of quiet intensity that only shows up when the grade is high and the landing is honest.
