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].
