Jakob Schubert bouldering at Magic Wood

Christian Feistmantl

There's just no stopping Jakob Schubert. Renowned for his raw grit and never-ending stamina, the Austrian has been one of the most successful Lead climbers for years, a true athlete and authentic "machine" when it comes to competing with a rope and harness. And since he won the Lead World Cup 2014 one stage ahead of schedule, last weekend Schubert decided to check out Switzerland's Magic Wood for the first time to dabble in a bit of bouldering, too.

While it's obvious that if he starts doing this seriously he can do outstandingly well in this discipline (in February he rapidly sent his first 8B+ problem), Schubert has now produced a startling run, ticking two 8B+ problems and flashing an 8B all on the same day. The list published below isn't merely a "ticklist" of any old names and numbers, it's confirmation of why Schubert is considered one of the most talented and complete sport climbers of his generation. There's no need to add anything else, apart from the fact that on Sunday he climbed the 8B+ Mystic Stylez twice. Once for himself, and once for the cameras...
