Daniel Woods made the first ascent of a boulder problem he named Apu (V13) yesterday in Peru’s Hatun Machay, a pre-Incan holy place sitting at 4,300 meters.
“I found this perfect 45-degree room with perfect crimps going out it,” Woods posted on his Instagram. After figuring out a sequence that worked, Woods added Apu to the list of just a few established boulder problems in the area.
