■Daniels Woods at the Gravity Brawl 2009 - Last qualifiers problem

On May 29-30 2009, the New Jersey Rock Gym hosted the Gravity Brawl for another successful event. Daniels Woods was the only one to flash all the qualifier problems. Here is raw footage of the last one (and the hardest).

■Daniel Woods at the Gravity Brawl 2009 - finals #4

Daniel was the only climber to flash all the qualifiers. However, he got shut down on the second finals problem which was sent by 4 other men. Since Daniel was the last to climb (and is know for his sick strength), the hopes were high that he would send the last problem. The previous climbers made it look impossible.
Unfortunately Mr Woods didn't send but he came the closest, using some clever beta. By going to the feature with his left hand, he was able to slap the hold on the right lip. Looks like it could have gone with more time (and more rest).

■Paul Robinson at the Gravity Brawl 2009 - Final #3

Here is raw footage of Paul Robinson on the third problem of the finals. The problem ended up being way easier than the routesetter intended. Every men sent it but most competitors struggled (some sick footage will follow). There no struggling here for Paul, winner of the comp. Hes simply swinging his way up, seemingly weightless.
