8B+ FA by Daniel Woods again

Daniel Woods has openend The Wheel of Chaos in RMNP which was his 25th 8B+ and harder FA and in total he has done 65. The 24 year old leads the ranking game which he has done more or less for six straight years. (c) Cam Maier - Bearcam media/Island "The power endurance test piece of the park. Sits in upper upper chaos at 10,600 feet, 4 mile hike in, and 23 moves long. 3 separate boulders complete the line. Dave, Nalle, Cam, Chad, Diego, and myself prepped the boulder and worked out the sections. The climbing style is crazy with both physical and technical movement. One of my all time favorite lines in RMNP.
