Schubert's 9b: I had the biggest fight of my life

Jakob Schubert has written a blog talking about his ascent of LaPlanta de Shiva 9b. Read the full story at Mammut's webite. (c) Elias Holzknecht - I had the fight of my life and managed to reach the top of "La Planta de Shiva", feeling exhausted but overjoyed - it has been my most difficult route to date! From the first attempt to the actual ascent, once again the whole process was a great learning experience for me. It taught me never to give up and the importance of mental attitude when you push your limits. I am very proud to have completed the second ascent of this awesome line and am now looking forward to the next challenge.
