Welt and Uลพnik tick From Dirt Grows The Flowers (8C)
Moritz Welt and Nicolai Uลพnik have done From Dirt Grows The Flowers (8C) in Chironico.
It was established by Dave Graham in 2005, and all 18 people who have rated it have given it 5 stars.
Can you tell us more about the trip and the ascent?
Welt pictures: We are in Ticino for 10 days and I had 'from dirt..' as my main project in mind. I tried it twice quickly before and knew it would suit me. Had one session working the moves on the 27th and some sending tries on 31st :) Half of our trip is over and weather is still great so I am really syked to try something else now!
Uลพnik: I checked it out cause I got a split on my finger trying Alphane and I thought this one could be better to try with tape on. I checked out the moves and the tricky mantle quite fast and came back the next day to finish it off. Itโs a cool line, but I didnโt enjoy it as much since the first few holds were kinda painful on the skinโฆ ๐

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
