9a+ by Jakob Schubert in Oliana

Jakob Schubert, one of the very best competition climbers of the last five years, reports on Instagram that he has done Joe Mama 9a+ in Oliana. In November he fell on the last move but this trip he just warmed up once and did it on his second try. (c) Elias Holzknecht "I have been doing only bouldering and power training in december and was a little worried about my endurance but once again I saw how much such training even helps on endurance monsters."
