Ascensioni in Svizzera da Jakob Schubert

Got myself the perfect Christmas present by achieving my last big goal of 2024. Sending not just my hardest but also one of my favorite boulders ever! This has been a real rollercoaster ride for me, as it was high on my list of goals for the year but at the same time second to both the World Champs in Bern and Project Big. I went from feeling good on the first sessions to basically being about to give up along the way, as I felt that the boulder required more focus and attention than I seemed to have available. The ride had it all, from inconsistent progress and setbacks, a slip after the hard part, having to wait out bad conditions before feeling worse again on the boulder but somehow battling through, a story of personal perseverance that I'm grateful climbing can provide me with 🥳🥳

Happy Christmas everyone!

Big Paw next time!

My nemesis boulder. Somehow I always really struggled on the crux move and it felt like one of the hardest in Bavona for me, styles just matter a lot in Bouldering I guess. Happy to finally tick it off!

Such a cool one! Nice night session flash with Misha and Alberto! Not sure about the grade, might be easier than 8b..

Such a cool line! Did Bella Luna a few years ago but now with the added top out it's so much better. Didn't check out the top and just went for it, pretty scatchy but somehow made it Not sure if it really deserves 8b+, might still be 8b. Time will tell..

even soft for 8a in my opinion

Wow such an amazing one, Brione never disappoints. Should have flashed it but oh well. Crazy dynamic moves on good holds and the perfect send to end a perfect 3 day trip!

Great Boulder! Probably more 8a+ than 8b for me

So psyched to send this one in one session together with Nicolai! Could be 8b+, could be 8c I dunno, grading in Bouldering is too hard. Anyways it's an amazing Boulder that climbs so well!

Night session on this one to finish our first day of the trip. What a Boulder, it can't get any better than this!!!

I have done this one a couple of years ago already, but had to send it again, such a good one!!

took us a bit time to find a beta that we liked, but once we got it it went done quickly. amazing rock!

cool jump move, doesn't deserve the 8b grade in my opinion tough.

8b/8b+

ground up flash

not sure if actually 8b+, could be 8b since it's mostly tricky..One of the best in Bavona for me, so fun!!

Wow so psyched to add this kingline! You basically do the hardest part of the original force tranquill and then instead of matching the crimp and going out right you do another big move straight up to a pocket from there you do a rather scary top out. It’s definitely harder than the original line but I like the style a lot so personally I would say it‘s not enough to push it up a full grade. It‘s the logical exit and climbs very well so I would love to see some repititions and hear their opinion 😉 Video online! https://youtu.be/Dr82TsVOEXk

Sick highball!

8a/8a+

Such a good one!! Prime conditions in Magic Wood!

Soft. Sick line!!

Battle with the heat! Not the sickest of lines but climbs so well! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG1pXMfyLSM&t=3s

8a+/8b

Really wanted to flash this one, I was nervous But I pulled it off, so psyched!! Power endurance and definitely very soft for 8b+ but it's easy to make mistakes..

Amazing Boulder

such a good one. All about the first move for me. Got close on the sit and have to come back soon!

45 min.. in my last try before the melting snow got it wet again

2,5 hours, amazing problem, not too hard with the right beta, thanks to Michele Caminati and his video in 'Better Than Chocolate'
