Elias Arriagada Krüger does Dreamtime (8C)
”Dream come true!!!! Had a few sessions over new years with bad condies, so I came back now for a 3 day trip to finish it. After getting super close on it on the first two days, I climbed it on my third climbing day in a row in my first go, but dabbed the tree at the very end. Like WTFFFF!!!! So I had to climb it again. That’s where the mind game started. I started to give some goes again, but all of the sudden I started to slip out of every move from the bottom part, which wasn’t a problem before. It got warmer and warmer, my go’s got worse and worse. And then, with a huge fight, I managed to climb it again and this time without a dab. What an intense day! Beyond happy to have climbed it!!!!”
