SparkShop reports on Facebook that Daniel Woods has done The Process in Bishop that he has been projecting for a long time. No grade comment yet but obviously we are coming close to 8C+ as Daniel previously has done 19 8C graded boulders out of which ten FA. Further more, Carlo Traversi has suggested that The Process is like a 8B into an 8B+ finishing with a 7C+ at seven meters height. It should be noted that, excluding traverses and boulder routes, it does not existent any 8C+ boulders out there. Although being just 25 years old, Daniel has been one of the leading boulderers in the world for almost ten years including being Top-3 in the 8a ranking game since 2007. He has previously done two 9a+ and he has been on the podium in four WC boulder events including winning once. On Instagram Daniel comments his great send, "Since the line bakes in the sun all day, we resorted to night sessions. This def spiced things up and required a team of motivated friends to help this method come to life. Laterns, God beams, headlamps etc made the." Photo: Sparkshop Studio
