Sanuk Climber Daniel Woods in Colorado - V14 / V15

Sanuk Climber Daniel Woods in Colorado - V14 / V15 drops you into the high, cold alpine of Rocky Mountain National Park as Daniel Woods hunts down Colorado’s hardest boulder problems. Filmed in early 2012, it follows Daniel as he pushes the limits on three cutting-edge lines—Mirror Reality (V14), Mind to Motion (V14), and Paint it Black (V15)—turning raw stone, snow-dusted landings, and razor-thin margins into a stage for precision and courage. What makes this short film so gripping is how it pairs the tries with the process: the training, the problem-solving, and the mental reset that comes before committing to “impossible.” You’ll see the small details that matter—how sequences are built, how setbacks are absorbed, and how a breakthrough finally clicks—until the final top-outs feel earned, not edited. With tight filming and a crisp cut by Courtney Sanders, it’s a focused dose of modern hard bouldering that’s equal parts atmosphere, intensity, and inspiration.
