Dreamtime

Posted on 14. Dec, 2009 by B3 in News

Two weeks ago there was a great discussion about Dreamtime, its broken hold, and the ethics of gluing and chipping.
Finnish climber Nalle Hukkataival has reclimbed the problem from a stand start after the crucial sidepull hold broke, suggesting V13, and putting an end to the debate (hopefully!) He says the full line could be a proper V15, although (he says) it has diminished in quality. The project he is climbing on looks amazing. For me the bouldering in Switzerland is nearly perfect, and I often dream about getting back.

The winter weather continues here in Boulder. It was brutally cold for a week or so and now the snow is starting to melt. The typical winter haunts (Boulder Canyon, Poudre Canyon, Red Feather) will most likely be wet for a bit. Fortunately there are four very good gyms to choose from, in addition to numerous home walls. I don’t have any trips planned for a while, so I will most likely be spending my winter in Colorado, training and putting up new problems.
