Dreamcatcher 9a by Nicholas Milburn

Nicholas Milburn has done Chris Sharmas' Dreamcatcher 9a in Squamish. (c) Matty Hong "This route took me about 10 weeks of work over three seasons. I came really close last year, but ran out of time. I trained hard before returning this year to make sure I would be strong enough to send. The weather was also the best I have ever seen in Squamish. The day I sent was super windy which made a huge difference. Matty taught me some advanced sport climbing strategies and I finally caught the dream. I'm psyched that such an iconic route is my first of the grade."
