Daniel Woods

Daniel Woods is an American boulderer (born August 1, 1989) whose career has been defined by repeatedly pushing the upper limits of contemporary grades and by a long record of hard first ascents and competition results. Verified sources note his specialization in bouldering, his many ascents at V15 (8C) and above, and high-profile proposals such as a low start to Sleepwalker that he named Return of the Sleepwalker and suggested at V17 (9A); he has also won national and international competition bouldering events.

The films in this catalog present two different aspects of Woods’s work. The North Face presents: ALPHANE places him within a roster chasing cutting‑edge boulder first ascents in Switzerland. The edit centers on Shawn Raboutou’s Alphane but interweaves attempts on a cluster of V14–V17 problems and shows projection work, sequence‑reading and the micro‑adjustments elite boulderers make on hard rock. As part of that team, Woods appears amid the technical discussions and attempt rhythms that define contemporary high‑end bouldering sessions.

The North Face presents: ADRENALINE - ft. Daniel Woods & Nina Williams narrows the frame to a Colorado winter season and emphasizes the constraints of cold‑weather bouldering: skin management, short windows of workable conditions and the psychological grind of repeated attempts. Viewers will get a clear sense of the physical and logistical limits that shape sends at V15–V16, and how an elite boulderer like Woods organizes training, attempts and recovery across a demanding season.
