Jakob Schubert does 55 boulders 8A and harder in 17 days

Jakob Schubert, who was #3 in the European Lead Championship at the end of June just one week after being #5 in Boulder Cup, later took his first ever WC break and instead went to Rocklands. During 17 days he did over 55 boulders 8A and harder. According to his ticklist we can see that he flashed two 8B's Mooiste Meisie and Madiba which he gave a personal grade of 8A+, five 8A+'s and eleven 8A's. In short, this just might be a new record when it comes to a 2.5 week climbing trip. The next week he will compete in the Boulder WC in Munich. (c) Ingo Filzwieser
