Klettern.de is reporting (in German) that Bernd Zangerl has done the 2nd ascent of Dave Graham’s From Dirt Grows The Flowers (V15) in Chironico, Switzerland.  According to Jamie Emerson FDGTF “starts with an 8B crimping sequence through some slippery crystals and leads to a hard 8A+ mantle”.

A loose translation of the article reveals that Zangerl had to wake early to find proper conditions and that sending the problem became a mental battle after early progress.

    I kinda got a kick out of seeing the crap that Dave got on Facebook from some guys like Joe Kinder after Book of Bitter Aspects got the second/third ascents just one after the other after it had stood so long unrepeated. Poor guy is gonna get it again… At least my problems are bad enough no one wants to repeat them, and they’ll always stay standing.
