- Dreamtime (climb)
-
Dreamtime is a boulder problem in Cresciano, Switzerland. Its first ascent (FA) was by Frederic Nicole on 2000-10-28[1]. It was once considered the benchmark V15. Since that time, Dreamtime has allegedly been chipped and is reportedly easier, having been downgraded to 8B+. (Nicole claims that the use of wire brushes to clean holds has damaged it.) Climbers Malcolm Smith and Dave Graham claim that it has always been 8B+, and Smith even doubts that it has been chipped.
There is also a stand-start-only variation which settled at 8A/8A+[2].
In 2009 a hold on broke on Dreamtime[3], the problem has seen ascents after the break[4].
