Daniel Woods Instagram – Freakshow (v15/8C)
First repeat after @drewruana
Drew originally proposed 14, but I broke a key hand hold on the vertical section. This created a new crux which I think levels the climb up.
Freakshow is divided into 3 sections:
Section 1- Physical moves on open hand underclings and foot smears lead to a positive edge at the lip of the roof.
Section 2- Powerful throw off this edge to a quarter pad mini pinch (crux 1) followed by resistant moves on small edges across the lip of the roof. This leads to a hard cut off of two small edges (crux 2) to gain a right heel and transfer onto the 20 foot vert/slab head wall.
Section 3- Once you transfer there are three finger intensive moves (redpoint crux), followed by easier yet heady climbing to the top of the boulder.
Section difficulty breakdown:
v10/11 (7C /8A) to v13 (8B) to v8 (7B )
Freakshow offers around 40 feet of climbing. The style is both powerful and technical. Fun ride with this one.
