Two 8B flashes and a 8C FA by Daniel Woods

Daniel Woods has had a great trip to Penoles where he flashed two 8B's, out of which El Infierno was a previous 8B+. He also did two 8B+ and made the FA of El Diablo 8C. Photo by Kyle Berkompas @Cff_climbing "Psyched to have climbed this thing final day/final try of the trip. It sits in the sun all day and was just possible to session at night for me. The line is beautiful ascending a 25 foot 50 degree overhanging ships prow. The climbing starts out with a 7C+ crack straight into a sustained 8B+ with a scary topout. It is hard to rehearse the moves due to its height. I spent 5 days on this thing and somehow pulled it out of my ass.
