The Rocklands post - El Corazon from Sandstones on Vimeo.
This one won't fit in the weekly updates. Amazing fight by Michele.
El Corazon is a classic highball put up by Daniel Woods a few years back.
Hands down the most impressive ascent I ever witnessed.
In early 2012, Sanuk climber Daniel Woods established 3 of Colorado's hardest boulder problems in the alpine environment of Rocky Mountain National Park. The film features First Ascents of Mirror Reality (v14), Mind to Motion (v14), and Paint it Black (v15). Also featured are shots of how Daniel trains to prepare for a climb that will test his mental and physical capacity. Watch as he creates, prepares, and executes what was thought to be impossible...
