Dreamtime has broken
Posted on 11. Nov, 2009 by B3 in News
The classic boulder Dreamtime V14 in Cresiano has broken, and here are the pictures.


There is not a whole lot of information beyond these photos, and it’s unclear if the problem still goes, but unfortunate none the less.

just glue it back on, the bolt hold on the Lightning was reinforced back in the early nineties, better that than no hold

sidepulls are the new slopers, pass it on.

Agreed; so was 61.76% of Morrison and 38.45% of married couples over the age of 38. Purists find refuge!

Shit happens… Doesn’t matter who did it, but try to fix it somehow.

The old problem is gone, no for some one to come and figure this new problem out. Keep the glue at home

That’s the left hand that the dyno goes off of, right? Uh, oh. Moral conundrum….

Dreamtime has previously come under fire for chipped holds and hold enhancement, so a glued hold wouldn’t be the end of the world. It would be a shame to see a classic hard problem changed completely.

someone in the future will come and do it without this hold. to glue it would mean there is no developement in bouldering. Ondra did dreamtime in 4 hours. how long would he have to try now..nobody curious?

Like Micah said “Its called the evolution of a boulder problem.”
When the hold broke on Evilution in Bishop no one was saying glue the hold back on. Granted its not one of the hardest problem in the world, holds break everyday and people go climb them anyway. Yes this sucks to see this happen do such a majestic problem. Let move forward. Now we have a new one that maybe harder or easier then it was before. Its sad to see this problem go but again its the evolution of boulder problems.

who cares… its one of millions of boulders in the world and there might be a few hundred people in the world who can throw down on this problem. None of us could even pull to the lip. Plus it was already chipped and molested by wire brushes. Respect to Fred who had the vision to climb it and all the other who sent it but since the FA its gone down hill. There are many more classics that have yet to be found.

so guys, it seems that Nalle H. has done the first ascent of Dreamtime stand start after the break, and gave it 8b. He said the sit could go around hard 8c. Check 8a.nu for more info.
