For some weeks now, Jimmy Webb and his friends from his homeland and Local Giuliano Cameroni have been touring the Ticino chestnut forests. His latest coup is the celebration of From Dirt Grows the Flowers (8c).
Most of the time he spends with Giuliano while working on big new projects. In between, he also devotes himself to an old classic and climbs it. This happened just a few days ago with the 8c-Boulder From Dirt Grows the Flowers in Chironico.
Another test piece by Dave Graham
"Merci Dave, for this murderous thing", Jimmy comments on the ascent and addresses the first time ascent Dave Graham, He first got the boulder in March twelve years ago. Since then, the Boulder attracted a number of strong athletes who dedicated themselves to the lines. Among others, the following persons were able to successfully commit the boulder.
