We are pleased to announce that Jimmy Webb has added his name to the select few who have sent Dreamcatcher (5.14d) in the Grand Wall Boulder, Squamish. BC.

Success!! A couple days ago the cool air rolled through Squamish and I was able to satch up ‘Dreamcatcher’ 9A. I’ve had many goals throughout my climbing but this route has always stood out to me among the rest. Huge props to @chris_sharma for establishing one of the most aesthetic lines you’ll ever see. Sticking the finish jug was most certainly a feeling I will never forget! 🙏 Huge thanks to @kevintakashismith for the sick 📸 .. #lifegoals #travel #success #squamish #love @hippytree @fiveten_official @organicclimbing @metoliusclimbing
