Jun Shibanuma completes Dreamcatcher (9a)

Jun Shibanuma has repeated Chris Sharma’s Dreamcatcher (9a) in Squamish, after having projected it for 13 sessions over two years. In April, we reported on the five 8C's he had completed and he mentioned at that time that Dreamcatcher was a future goal. In a few days, he's flying to Brazil for a month-long trip where he plans on trying Origens (8c+). (c) Victoria Kohner-Flanagan

What was the secret to sending Dreamcatcher?
Just don’t give up! [My] Redpoint try went really perfect, I was able to move really smoothly.
