Bloc Round-up: Wood, Pelorson and Johnson top big projects

Daniel Woods, Nico Pelorson and Alex Johnson all 'go big' on long-term projects. When a climber such as Daniel Woods starts to dig-in deep into a super hard project and posts about it on a near-daily basis it's clear that something pretty special is in the offing. Finally, having dedicated his entire focus to it, Woods finally topped Return of the Sleepwalker at a reported grade of V17/Font 9A. The 17-move bloc in Black Velvet Canyon at Red Rock, Nevada, USA immediately shot within the world’s top blocs. Assuming, as is likely given the circumstances, the V17/Font 9A grade sticks, Return of the Sleepwalker is the USA’s first Font 9A and one of only a handful around the world at that level.
