Film about the celebration of Magic Mushroom by Babsi Zangerl and Jacopo Larcher

In December, Barbara Zangerl and Jacopo Larcher managed the second red point ascent of the Yosemite route Magic Mushroom. The multi-pitch Magic Mushroom tour, with 13 pitches in the 8a area and one pitch in the 8b + area, is one of the most difficult big wall routes in the world. Now the film about the inspection is online.

“I never thought that I could score points with Magic Mushroom,” says Babsi at the beginning of the film. Numerous Hauling-Meter, Boulder sessions and Portaledge-nights invested the two Vorarlberger in the route on El Capitan. And it was worth it. "Once again we have learned that passion, perseverance, belief in the impossible and a well-rehearsed team make it possible to make dreams come true," says Jacopo after the successful commission in December 2017 (LACRUX reported). Thanks to Francois Lebeau and Louder Than 11 a movie about the second largest Big Wall routes was built Yosemite Valley.
