3rd Ascent Of Practice Of The Wild (V15) & Ill Trill By Daniel Woods UPDATED

3rd Ascent Of Practice Of The Wild (V15) & Ill Trill By Daniel Woods UPDATED

DPM reports that Daniel Woods has done the 3rd ascent of Chris Sharma’s Practice Of The Wild, a V15 in Switzerland’s Magic Wood.  Practice Of The Wild was first done by Sharma back in 2004 and repeated by Ty Landman in 2008.

The folks at DPM are hanging out with Woods in Switzerland so be on the look out for footage of this ascent in the coming weeks and months.  Until then, here is the footage of Landman on the 2nd ascent:

And as a bonus, here is some footage of Woods and fiancé Courtney Sanders bouldering in Varazze, Italy just prior to their trip to Switzerland:

Update:  As Mojo reminds me in the comments,  Woods did try the unrepeated V16 Gioia while in Varazze.  It was too hot to give the line a full effort, but according to a blog post by Sanders

The first two days of climbing we went to the sector with the famous line, Gioia 8C. It’s been a while since I have seen that kind of excitement on Daniel’s face. It is his favorite style of climbing; in a day he did all of the moves, and completed the stand, 8a+.

Update #2:  According to his 8a scorecard Woods has also repeated Paul Robinson’s Ill Trill, suggesting a grade of V14 for the line.

Update #3: And if you’re scoring at home apparently Brit Micky Page got the 2nd ascent of Ill Trill in recent weeks.

    Completely off topic, but wasn’t he in Italy just last week? For some reason, i figured he’d have competed in Milan…

      Good question. He definitely would have been in the area but clearly chose not compete for whatever reason.

    Courtney’s blog also mentioned that he tried Gioia while in Varazze. Said that he was really psyched on it, did all the moves, but it was too warm to really try for a send.

      College I guess? He did surface at a comp in the UK the other month where
      he managed to have a pretty respectable showing.

        I’ve seen him training in the UK a few times, but at the CWIF he wasn’t looking as strong as his past climbs would suggest

          Definitely not, but given that it doesn’t sound like he has been climbing much his performance was pretty impressive, no?

          Wrong boulder, Carlos. I think Crimpin’ is referring to Ill Trill…

    Just a guess but maybe Bernd Zangerl did the second ascent of Ill Trill. It was an old project of his and he had done the stand start before Paul fired of the full line. There was some “controversy”, remember? See here: http://www.b3bouldering.com/2010/10/18/news-from-magic-wood/
