Jakob Schubert flying high: 8c + flash, 8c onsight and more

The Austrian Jakob Schubert climbs one difficult tour after the other. After a flash ascent of the route light years (8c +) at the Schleier waterfall, he secured the third ascent of Fugu (9a) and definitely started during the team trip with Austria Climbing.

Jakob Schubert leaves nothing to burn at the moment. Within a short time he scores difficult routes on the running meter. After successful and quick inspections in his home country, Jakob Schubert and his comrades travels to Austria from an area in bow to the next.

8c climbed onsight

On the first day he got a quick ascent of the 9a route Thunder Ribes in Massone and suggests a rating of 8c + / 9a. On the second day went to the climbing area Eremo, where Jakob did the 8c + route Magic fairy scored. Jakob definitely got going on the third day, when he did the onsight ascent of 5 Uve (8c), as well as the red point inspections of Natural present (8c / 8c +) and Mr Teroldego (8c).

Third ascent from Beginning to Ghisolfi and Ondra

Jakob also treats himself to a day of rest. But only one. On the fifth day he impressed with the onsight ascent of Terra Piata (8b +) and the ascent of Zero Tolleranza (8b + / 8c) in the first go. The icing on the cake of the day was the third ascent of the Ghisolfi-Route Beginning (9a or 9a / +). Then came along the following day Omen noun Another 9a route was added in the Padaro area. We summarize the ticklist of the team trip so far:

  • Thunder Ribes (8c + / 9a)
  • Magic fairy (8c +)
  • 5 uve (8c onsight)
  • Natural Present (8c / 8c +)
  • Mr Teroldego (8c)
  • Terra Piata (8b +)
  • Zero Tolleranza (8b + / 8c)
  • Beginning (9a)
  • Omen noun (9a)

We are curious to see what is going on today and tomorrow, because Jakob will remain in the areas in and around Arco for two more days.
