Dreamtime is a V15/8C boulder problem in Cresciano, Switzerland. Its first ascent (FA) was by Frederic Nicole on 2000-10-28. It was once considered the benchmark V15. Since that time, Dreamtime has allegedly been chipped and is reportedly much easier, having been downgraded 8B+, or as low as 8A+. (Nicole claims that the use of wire brushes to clean holds has damaged it.) Climbers Malcolm Smith and Dave Graham claim that it has always been 8B+, and Smith even doubts that it has been chipped.
