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

Unearthed from the archives, Daniel Woods: Witness the Fitness drops you into a brief, high-impact slice of bouldering history as Woods works through Witness the Fitness (V15/8C). Filmed in a raw, focused mellow style, it captures a rare moment around one of the sport’s most talked-about problems—where reputation and reality meet on unforgiving rock. What makes this worth watching is the nuance behind the headline grade: with key holds broken since the earlier ascents by Chris Sharma and Fred Nicole, the challenge shifts from “can it go?” to “how does it go now?” In under six minutes you get the tension of attempts, the precision of micro-beta, and that unmistakable feeling of commitment when everything depends on a few fingertips—perfect for anyone who loves seeing elite power, problem-solving, and persistence distilled to their essence.
