8C's (B+) by Daniel Woods

Daniel Woods, the 8a ranking game leader for several, has done two amazing 8C's in Magic Wood, Practice of the Wild, "3rd ascent. Took 3 days of mental/physical warring. Psyched to do this majestic testpiece," and Ill Trill giving it a personal grade of 8B+, "Hard 3rd ascent. One of the best movement climbs I have done in a while. Spent 2 days this year on the line and one a few years ago. It felt like an 8A intro into an 8A+ stand." Under the radar, Mickey Page got the second ascent.
