Daniel Woods vs Jimmy Webb’s V16 Style

Check out the varying styles as Daniel Woods and Jimmy Webb take down the new Lincoln Lake testpiece called Insomniac established by Drew Ruana. Open two screens to watch them side by side to catch the differences.

Insomniac starts on Wheel of Wolvo V14 followed by a good rest and continues into We Can Build You V14. It was repeated last year by Shawn Raboutou.

Woods is one of the most accomplished boulderers of all time, with over 20 ascents of V15 or harder problems. In 2021, he climbed the first V17 in America, and only the second ever at the time, with his first ascent of Return of the Sleepwalker. Other hard problems Woods has climbed include the first ascents of Sleepwalker V16, The Box Therapy V16, Creature from the Black Lagoon V16, The Process V16 and Hypnotized Minds V16. Woods has also pushed grades on roped climbs and in 2019 sent his hardest grade to date with La Capella 5.15b in Spain.

Webb is also one of the world’s top boulderers, with several V16 repeats and first ascent. He won the 2013 Psicobloc Masters Series, beating Chris Sharma, Dave Graham and Carlo Traversi. Besides repeating Dreamcatcher 5.14d in Squamish, some of Webb’s sends include Poison the Well V16, Off the Wagon Low V16, Ephyra V16 FA, Sleepwalker V16 FA, Creature from the Black Lagoon V16 and Livin Large V16.
