Dreamtime (climb)
Dreamtime is a boulder problem in Cresciano, Switzerland. Its first ascent (FA) was by Frederic Nicole on 2000-10-28. Initially the problem was considered the benchmark 8C. In February 2004 Malcolm Smith did the 8th ascent of the problem, downgrading it to 8B+. The downgrade prompted 1st and 2nd ascentionists Fred Nicole and Bernd Zangerl to reexamine the problem, stating shortly after, that the problem was now easier due to aggressive wirebrushing.
