Dreamtime standing, 8B etc by Nalle Hukkataival

Nalle Hukkataival has done the first ascent of Dreamtime stand since the hold broke and gives it an 8B with a comment "Sit start probably a real 8C now." Dreamtime was considered the first 8C by its opener Fred Nicole in 2000 but was downgraded later. Fred has commented that the holds have improved since his first ascent. Nalle (blog), who has done 18 boulders 8B and harder in 2009, is #2 in the 8a boulder world ranking. In the All Time High ranking he is #6 but some of the climbers above him have somewhat inflated grades in their early ascents. Pic by Michele Caminati.
