Adam Ondra was recently out with Czech film maker, Petr Pavlíček filming a new climbing flick when he plucked Graham's line first go.  Ondra, no stranger to hard grades,  has been switching between bouldering and sport routes in order to cross train it seems and this particular problem suited his style perfectly.

In other news, Nalle Hukkataival got the first ascent of Dreamtime, after a massive hold was broken off of the line.  Nalle suggested that the line now climbs as a firmer 8c.  Nalle was also out in the woods showing everyone his Ninja Skills, a line he found in Sobrino.

The problem follows 20 hard moves which includes a "crux" dyno into a crimp.  This move took Nalle the most time to stick and link into the final problem.  Nalle, always humble with his views on grading gave the line a solid 8B+
