9a FA by Jakob Schubert
Jakob Schubert, one of the best climbers of the last five years, both on rock and in comps, reports on Facebook that he has made the FA of Companion of Change 9a in Zillertal. Last weekend he was #3 in Kranj as well as in the 2015 overall ranking. (c) Elias Holzknecht
"The route was bolted by Markus Schwaiger then rebolted + cleaned by Gerhard Hรถrhager, two of the most important pioneers of Tyrol! I tried this route for the first time many years ago and came back every once in a while, a lot has changed since I first saw this route, in my life but also in climbing and on this planet in general. That's why I'm giving it the name 'Companion of Change'.
I'm not 100% sure about my plans yet, I'm really spontaneous right now, done with university since May, so I can put all my time into climbing. Planing to focus on Lead next year and less bouldering so I can focus on rockclimbing a lot longer. Probably climbing mostly outside until May.
On Saturday I will go to Croatia for a week, mid December Spain and Hueco in February."

โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
