Strong start into the new year
Flohé must have said to himself that he had finished the old year on the ropes strongly and had a solid start in the new year with bouldering. Story of Three Worlds Flohé secures only the third ascent of the Raboutou first-walked line on the Dreamtime block.
I tried the boulder for a few sessions on my last trip to Ticino, but had trouble with the cold. Thanks to the sun, things felt much better this time and I managed to complete it after falling out once in the Dagger.
