Dima's full name is Dmitry Shapovalov.

Nice description, Matt. I'll ask Dmitry to post a picture of the line.

BTW, both me and Boris did come down with your "mucus pukus"... Staying home today, drinking tea and puking...

We were climbing at Dunkan rock this Sunday... Matt+Dima climbed a crack/flake/roof/face a short distance to the right of Frenchburg Overhangs, finishing on the same ledge where the 2nd rap anchor (off a tree) on Frenchburg Overhangs is located.

The route is apparently not climbed often, and the crack in the upper part, aside from being almost non-existent, was fill...
