Daniel Woods Bridge of Ashes 8C Second Ascent

Daniel Woods returns to Colorado granite for Bridge of Ashes (8C/V15), capturing the precision and power required for one of the state’s hardest boulders. Filmed by Cameron Maier in the Estes Park / RMNP zone, this short hit follows the second ascent effort—tight margins, high stakes, and the calm intensity that defines Woods when the moves get truly unforgiving. In just over four minutes, it delivers pure bouldering: subtle body positioning, skin-and-weather battles, and the kind of crux tension that makes every attempt feel final. If you love watching the best climbers turn micro-edges and bad holds into possibility—and want a quick dose of world-class difficulty without any filler—this is a must-play.
