boulderingNews Switzerland

Dave Graham was in Switzerland for two weeks and romped around the Susten Pass, where he found the Boulder Pressed bunny (8b +) could score.

Dave Graham was last at the Susten Pass 16 years ago, at that time with Michi and Jvan Tresch and the two Americans Joe Kinder and Luke Parady. The return to the Susten Pass impressed Dave: “Whats mind blowing is that not a damn thing has changed. Timeless mountains keeping me humble donating such perspective; I'd never be me without you Switzerland. "

The ascent before the storm

But he was not only pleased about the return to the connecting pass between Uri and Bern, but also the celebration of the 8b + Boulder Pressed bunny: "Over three days of effort amidst a massive storm system, the strategic radar observation, placement of toilet paper to dry the four wet holds, and last minute beta modifications I snuck in an ascent of this amazing boulder just before the terminal wave of rain arrived. " Pressed bunny Incidentally, three years ago Martin Keller first arrived.
