  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
  • In the summer of 2018, during a three-month road trip, Jimmy Webb made a spontaneous decision to try "Dreamcatcher", the iconic Chris Sharma route in Squamish, British Columbia. This video chronicles his process of training for, and then battling with Dreamcatcher. Enjoy!

    Every time I see a super strong climber have to work hard to take down an iconic Sharma route, it reminds how badass Sharma was/is to have put these things up when he did

    Dreamcatcher is one of the best looking line in the world. The geometry of it, the long scar running against it and the lighting in the cave makes it surreal.
