Daniel Woods Climbs the First Ascent of Fantasia

Just when everyone thought all the projects had been done, Daniel Woods plucks the FA of a hard 27-move problem in Matthews Winters Park outside Denver, Colorado. The line, dubbed Fantasia, is a steep horizontal roof that has a little bit of everything: pockets, side pulls, and 360 degree spin moves.

The bulk of the line, and suggested crux, is mostly found in the powerful compression moves leading out of the roof.  Originally dubbed the Phantasia Project, the problem has been tried by the likes of Dave Graham and Chris Webb Parsons to no avail.  Daniel was able to unlock all the powerful moves on the line in about a week and is suggesting V14 for his new problem.
