Chris Sharma’s iconic Squamish route Dreamcatcher (5.14d) got its third ascent (Sharma, McColl) last week from Canadian Ben Harnden according to this posting on the local message board. Apparently Harnden is of the Brave & Humble™ variety so it’s unclear how much spray about the ascent will make it to the internet, but I, for one, can never get enough media from this route. I guess we might just have to settle for re-watching Sharma and McColl climb this route.

Agreed.
Has anybody compiled a list of the most beautiful sport climbs or boulders? I suggest Dreamcatcher… and Bullet the Blue Sky in Penitente canyon, for one that’s accessible to mortals.
