This line was originally established by Daniel Woods nearly 10 years ago, seeing only one repeat soon after by Jimmy Webb. Since then, many people have tried to no avail.
The first move of "Defying Gravity" is the business. Daniel used a semi static method involving a left hand mini pinch and dove into the decent right hand edge. Noah straight up pulls on and campuses the first move (which seems smart cause it eliminates the swing but damn this is powerful). Both Jimmy and Nathaniel used a high right heel to help them generate to the edge and hold a tenuous swing. All three methods are hard and require a freak skill set to execute. The last jump move is no gimme, but if wired, you should not fall there. Mad props to Noah for dispatching Defying Gravity in only 3 sessions! Kid has a bright future ahead.Defying Gravity V15 - Nathaniel Colemanmellow2023-12-17 | Thunder Ridge, Colorado hosts one of the most Iconic hard boulders of the last decade, Defying Gravity V15.

@neilson.ben @nathaniel.coleman @charlesbarronNO BOLTSmellow2023-12-01 | Rare things are precious, and a rarity in Tyrol are hard single-pitch trad routes. The feeling of a perfectly placed camalot and the nervousness of climbing over uncertain protection provide the perfect combination of satisfaction and excitement when climbing. While browsing through Tyrolean climbing guides, you won't find many cracks. However, when talking to the right people, a handful of five-star climbs and beautiful lines emerge. "No Bolts" showcases the uniqueness and charm of a few of these routes. Moritz Plattner and Luis Beitl climb Markus Haid's crack trilogy and throw in a first ascent of an urban crack as well. The whole process is captured and edited by Jonathan Fäth.

Film by Matty HongUNCUT: Daniel Woods - Radja (8B+/V14)mellow2022-11-02 | First 8B+ (v14) in the world by Fred Nicole. The crux involves a physical move off of a terrible left-hand undercling to a small right-hand incut crimp. Daniel did it the original way Fred did. There is a new way of starting the line which makes it easier and another way to do the crux which also makes it easier (once you get the right-hand shoulder you cross over with the left hand to match it and grab a right-hand crimp above. This makes getting the left-hand undercling easier). This new way is more 8B (v13). Daniel wanted to do what Fred did. The line is definitely contrived but history is history.Taylor McNeill Multiverse V15/8Cmellow2022-10-28 | Taylor McNeill getting the second ascent of a mega Jimmy Webb block in Wyoming first established back in 2014!
