Video: Jonas Winter climbs Ticino classics Dreamtime and La Rustica

In Ticino, Jonas Winter succeeds in repeating the 8c-Boulder Dreamtime in Cresciano and La Rustica in Val Bavona. The first ascent of The Portal 8b/+ has also been on his tick list since the beginning of February. The inspections of the strong German can now also be admired as a video.

With the inspection of the Fred Nicole classic Dreamtime crowned on December 31, 2021 Jonah Winter a successful climbing year. And even in 2022 he has not remained idle. It wasn't long ago that Jonas Winter made the First Ascent of Stairway to heaven sit (8b+) talk about themselves on the Gotthard Pass. Shortly thereafter, he succeeded in Val Bavona all trains from La Rustica (8c) to line up.

Jonas Winter describes La Rustica as one of the most inspiring and aesthetic lines he has climbed to date. "This line has bothered me since I first saw Jimmy Webb's video of his first ascent a few years ago." Winter says it feels so good to have a happy ending to his La Rustica story.

But it was about to get even better. In the same Ticino trip he was able to climb a boulder for the first time, which he had discovered years before and woken from its slumber: The Portal (8b/+).
