Daniel Woods, Yuji Hirayam and James Pearson are part of a team in Borneo shooting footage for an upcoming Reel Rock Film Tour segment. The team is exploring the granite climbing on the 13,435 ft. Mt. Kinabalu, and each climber has managed to find some noteworthy success according to the Reel Rock Tour Facebook page.
Daniel Woods psyched after freeing Tinipi, a possible 5.15a bolted by Yuji Hirayama
James Pearson on a “crazy” 5.14ish route
Yuji Hirayama also pretty psyched after freeing his two pitch project, Pogulian Do Koduduo, which features a 5.14d second pitch
Can’t wait to see film footage of those climbs. Its wild how many new enchanting places I discover by reading climbing blogs.
