Daniel Woods Claims Third Ascent of Ill Trill (V14/15)

Daniel Woods has climbed the third ascent of Paul Robinson's Ill Trill (V15) in Magic Wood, Switzerland.  After working out the moves and getting some good links on his first day working the problem, Daniel returned and sent on his second day this year. This was Daniel's second V15 since arriving in Switzerland about a week ago.  He also sent Practice of the Wild just three days ago.

Ill Trill was first climbed by Paul Robinson last fall and given the grade of light 8c or V15.  Paul remarked that the problem was "13 moves of every style and none are easy w/ the crux final move!”  He also thought the problem was as difficult as the Hueco Tanks testpiece Terremer (V15).  Daniel thought that Ill Trill broke down to a V11 intro into a V12.  He has suggested a grade of hard V14.
