Uncut: Daniel Woods "The Process" (v16/8C+) FA

Daniel Woods returns to Bishop, California to take on “The Process” (also known as Humpty Dumpty), a notoriously fragile, razor-edge boulder problem that’s become a modern benchmark at V16/8C+. In this uncut, behind-the-scenes session from mellow, you’re dropped straight into the attempt-by-attempt reality of a first ascent: the small adjustments, the setbacks, and the relentless focus it takes to make progress on something this unforgiving. What makes this worth watching is the honesty of the “process” itself. There’s no glossed-over montage—just raw effort, problem solving, and the tension of committing to a line where precision matters and the rock demands respect. If you love seeing elite bouldering up close, with every decision and micro-beta shift laid bare, this short film delivers a concentrated dose of high-level climbing at its most real.
