While waiting for the temperature to go down in Cresciano, so he can start making serious attempts on David Graham's The Story of Two Worlds, 8C, Dai Koyamada is biding his time and keeping fit by escaping to higher ground at Sustenpass.

His latest ascent was the first repeat of Martin Keller's Daedalus, 8B+, an extension to the classic Traumland, 8A:
