Daniel Woods Makes 4th Ascent of Multiverse V15



No music and no dialogue: Just a 2-minute send of a 19-move boulder problem that Daniel Woods called ‘damn near perfect.’

When Jimmy Webb made the first ascent of Wyoming boulder “Multiverse” back in 2014, he graded the problem V14.

It turns out the rig is a bit harder than that. Even after changing the crux beta and pulling off a wicked send, Woods agreed with a V15 grade. The veteran boulderer even popped a muscle in his inner thigh while working the route, forcing him to take 10 days off to heal.

Clearly stoked from the send this week, Woods described the climb with his typical rough-cut candor: “world’s best shit right here.”

“Cant believe it took me so long to revisit it,” Woods wrote on Instagram. “Multiverse is damn near perfect. Obvious start, great hold selection, unique moves, resistant, flat landing, eye catching colors in the rock, peaceful hang… great vibes with this line.”

Take a watch (or two) and you’ll see why.
