Alasha - Jakob Schubert on Mallorca's hardest deep water solo lines | Part 1

On his first real deep water solo trip to Mallorca, Jakob got his hands on some of the hardest lines on the island. Watch him getting the second ascent of one of Chris Sharma's test pieces - Alasha. With the crux consisting of a 8a boulder problem 15 meter above the water, a completely different mindset was needed on this one.

4:20 “We’ve tried to be very careful” as he backflips into the water 😂

[@bloctribe]

Sharma was so ahead of his time in pretty much every style bouldering, sport, dws. Even today the next gen lads are fighting hard to keep up with his legacy. 🤙🤙🤙

[@j3f423]

Yeah for real Sharma absolute beast

[@Tr33fiddy]

@@j3f423 Beast, yes. But also the imagination to find inspiring climbs at the limit of ability and still send them. Not sure any climber has put up as many _iconic_ lines.

[@dmitrisirbu7450]

Chris Sharma is still alive 😄 He is just 42🙂

[@walterlotte4215]

Sick! One thing I keep loving about Jakob is that he always gives space to fellow climbers in his videos.

[@simonksos7671]

Just amazed by the quality of the video. Could definitely have its place in a reel rock. Beautiful images and emotions captured. Can't wait to see the next part.

[@dearozero3631]

The friendship in this vid is a special highlight 😊

[@RipperJack77]

The production quality on this one is stunning

[@albertosanchez-carralerofr5871]

Ahhhh so much hype!! I am Spanish and have actually tried psicoblocs in Mallorca and I swear even the easiest stuff is just terrifying can't even imagine how focused you need to be for those moves in Alasha. Really cool video!!

[@ScratchRick]

Wow! Thats incredible and the video quality is like a Hollywood movie!

[@petersotherland9230]

We are climbers and mountaineers we aren’t the best swimmers. Immediately does a gainer off a 50ft cliff 😂. Awesome video! Also thanks for giving Sebastian some screen time, he’s the best!!

[@crazyoffdabudsac]

wundervoll. danke für diese einblicke in euer leben

[@jonas223xc3]

unreal production value, camera work and storytelling. great work for everyone involved with shooting, editing and producing it! And congrats, Jakob!!

[@IsuckYoungBlood]

Had goosebumps at the end of the video! The energy, the climbing, the places 🤩

[@laurai3192]

Amazing performance! Also Jakob's team has the best video editing and directing from all the KZbin-climbers. Amazing work!

[@calvincai2138]

mellow films on top

[@johnnewman2490]

Production values and story telling are on point, but it would be nice to see longer uncut stretches of actual climbing.

[@paulogryzek4740]

As more of a climbing fan than an actual climber, I can say that I LOVE deep water soloing videos. They are some of the best overall footage in the history of outdoor sports.

[@jenskoster1260]

What a super cool adventure!

[@BigBoiClimbs]

Jakob, this was an extraordinary video. It's a pleasure to watch you climb, and to see you top Alasha was something special. Thank you for sharing

[@santinosartoris]

The cheering from the boat as Kruder and Jakob were trading attempts on Alasha was beautiful.

[@babsds0]

Great content, looking forward to part 2.

[@AllegraClimbingPsychologist]

For those wondering, sport grade for Alasha seems to be around 9a (for Jakob) to 9b (estimate from Chris Sharma)! Great video and very nice glimpse into the mental aspects of climbing deep water soloing above your onsight level!

[@CJski]

makes me wonder what grade Sleeping Lion will settle at

[@Charles-hy2ek]

Did Sharma repel into Alasha? I like Jacob but just seems right to respect the style

[@alpsolutpictures3547]

@@Charles-hy2ek Also Sharma did repel into Alasha.

[@fredpilk7759]

@@alpsolutpictures3547 Okay happy to hear that! It did make me feel a little uneasy if that wasn't how it was first done. Mad respect to Jacob given it took Chris 5 years!!

[@schneesi]

Herzliche Gratulation zum Durchstieg von Alasha!! Mega gemacht.💪🏽 Danke auch der ganzen Crew für das coole Video. Ich freue mich auf Part II 🤗

[@Furansowakun]

Es Pontas is for me the most beautiful route ever. There is a super nice video about it with a french climber, Alban Levier

[@j3f423]

Crazy how good sharma is. the routes he set up are absolutely mind blowing still to this day

[@audetetvincit]

Really puts a spotlight on the vision and genius of Chris Sharma.

[@maiksteffan1722]

Unglaublich! Glückwunsch für den Durchstieg! War auch schon öfter in Mallorca zum dws. Man erlebt den Klettersport einfach nochmal ganz neu...Ein unbeschreibliches Gefühl💪😌

[@Hacky87]

siiick i was waiting for this videos from Mallorca

[@thibaudherrfilms]

Such a beautiful video! Congrats Jakob for the amazing feat 👏

[@angrywino]

Great send, Jakob!! I'm always a little torn to see Sharma's hardest lines get repeats, because in my heart, he will always be the man, and that means someone is inching closer to his legacy. Regardless, congrats to you!

[@ivanpaskalev9863]

Super excited when watching this. Well done man!

[@RoadtoV11]

Amazing production, this film definitely deserves so much attention! Amazing effort Jakob! 😀

[@krissroxxy]

waited for this for so long! Great video, stunning editing, great climbing.

[@goloher]

So you actually sent Jernej ahead to check if the jellyfish are ok! Well well well 😂

[@rock_joy]

Brutal!!!

[@samuelchow6474]

Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

[@Zyfikus]

erst "Project Big" und dann auch noch Alasha, was kommt als nächstes? Den Berg auf den Mars erklettern! btw amazing vid

[@rememberthistiiime]

Such a well done video! I was stoked to see some scenes in the "easier routes" part in Cala Varques, one of my favorite spots ever.

[@averageandrew82]

Really enjoyed watching your story unfold and listening as you explained what was going on as well as the history of the area and routes. You made the experience come alive for someone watching the video, excellent work on the video and the send!

Love your videos Jakob, they're so well done. This trip looked like such a blast!

[@HotSauceSlots]

Congrats!! That was amazing to watch the process and completion. 🔥 💪🏽

[@niallgrimes3642]

Great video thanks. The sound is fantastic on it!

[@HarrisAsync]

Wow, great work! DWS looks awesome, can't wait to see Es Pontas, I've fallen in love with Sharma's video, hope to see yours soon

[@user-je1oo6se1s]

22:10 translated: "I never knew where the crux was because it looked so easy" 😂

Amazing ! Thank you

[@biobelette9305]

That was amazing!

[@VDB420]

Great vid and great send!

[@ventura9249]

what I've always wondered is how you organize your wet shoes and chalkbags? do you just bring that many pairs, or do you just wait until they're dry again?

[@SimonWackerle]

I had the same question in my mind! 😄

[@SamTurner00]

Ye me two

[@driesvanoosten4417]

You need a few pairs. You don't need many, in the sun and wind they dry relatively quickly.

[@daventure]

It's not that complicated. First the shoes dry pretty quick and even slightly wet shoes can be used since the rubber dries fast. Chalk you bring a couple of chalk bags and only fill them up with the amount you need for a climb. There are also plastic chalk bags you can use. They dry pretty fast in the Sun A cheaper alternative for us not pros would be liquid chalk that you put on before the climb

[@friedstuff3509]

You can see some pairs drying at 11:13

[@jakubm3036]

cool vid!

[@MaxKra]

Awesome footage!

[@juliancamacho3447]

Espero con ansias el de Es Pontas 😊❤ que buen video por cierto!

Beautiful video!!

Great video thank you 🙏

[@aidanscarffe5256]

beautiful stuff! Jakob is just an incredible athlete. Can't wait to see the big boys back on real rock and routes like DNA

[@earlgrey2130]

I remember seeing sharma do this the first time.. and years later it's still such a crazy line..

[@SimonWackerle]

Geiles Video, hat mich motiviert heute mal wieder klettern zu gehen! :D

Amazing!!

Exelente video, saludos desde México!! 🤙

15:36 definitely took two takes after bringing the shirt in the pool or the first dive 😂

[@LFSJack]

Prokrastinieren?! Kann ich 💪

[@ingridheinz7985]

Super cool das Video, ihr alle seid ein Wahnsinn! - Sagt mal, müsst ihr nach jedem Sprung ins Wasser einen neuen Magnesiumbeutel nehmen? Oder nimmt man den nassen?

[@flatsucksmountainguiding7547]

Crazy Spot! What are the easiest routes there? Asking for a friend 😉

[@Daciniel]

amazing video :) so this was the second ascend of Alasha?

[@Zyfikus]

a question for all you out there, obviosly if you fall into the water the chalk gets wet, it's not reusable right? then it's just wasted? please prove me wrong if i think wrong

[@n3v3r1s4]

that was amazing hehe

[@scienceownsimposters2142]

Port de Soller the most beautiful place in the world.Gotta love my magical and legendary Mallorca.With the ocming spriritual awakening people will discover what Mallorca really is and they will faint =).Having an open mind is vital and a blessing.We are in the age of aquarius which is when the truth/real history would be revealed.Its called a spiritual awakening for a reason because we werent taught the truth.It is a glorious time to be alive.Rejoice good people.

[@PrzemysawGasiorowski]

Can you recommend something easier on Mallorca, like 6b or so?

[@birdboulders1233]

Super nice content! Thanks. How many chalkbags did you bring?

[@EliasClimb]

Eres un makinon!! Bicho!! :)

[@maxupp]

Wasn't this 2 years ago?

[@pumpkini586]

Did Sharma also use a rope to work the movies or did he work it ground up?

[@josereyes8571]

What happend with the chalk?

[@minabechtel]

First of all: congratulations for that great achievement and this excellent video. I also wear glasses, so I've avoided deep water soloing so far, but I'd love to do it. So my question is: do your glasses have so few dioptres that you can climb without them, or is it possible to do that with contact lenses?

[@janneskonrad9340]

Did you have to change chalk bags after every fall? how doest that work?

[@LordMcRob]

I have a question: When they are having so many tries and they are falling every time in the water and the calk bag gets wet. Afterwards it is wet and cannot be used anymore. I wondering how they do this? Do they have a lot of chalk bags and they let them dry over night?

[@J-Stream_Official.Channel]

สวัสดีครับ สนุกมากครับ ติดตามให้แล้วนะครับ

[@jarfrobinksss]

@3:08 Jakob's nuts scraping this guy's head

[@sibrilliant]

Bro I PROMISE it’s totally gonna be a more chill trip I’m not going to like project 9a or anything

[@joshclimbing]

How many chalk bags do these guys have?

[@mariuszklin6433]

I was also going climb it but was worried I waste too much chalk in case I fall 😂 I promise this was the reason I didn’t

[@Rockmaster867]

I just realized I habe the same climbing shorts as Jakob, so you could say I am somewhat of a pro climber myself 😂

[@leonrutz9499]

What about the chalk in the water

[@scienceownsimposters2142]

Ahhh what we would do without water?=)
