LIVE ascent of Project Big in Flatanger

After figuring out the beta of one of the hardest climbs in the Flatanger cave together with Adam Ondra last year, Jakob is now back in Norway trying to grab the first ascent of this king line. Stay tuned and watch him live when he is trying to grab the first ascent of this monster of a climb.

[@EmilAbrahamsson]

Huge congratulations man, such an effort and well done. Psyched that you share this moment with the rest of us!

[@silvr4422]

​@@johnnycigar3240 what do u mean

[@a__youtube__user]

@silvr4422 Jakob Schubert specializes in sport climbing so there are some climbers that are probably better than him at bouldering

[@peterhammer6915]

@@a__youtube__user Jakob is incredible versatile, he is also incredibly strong in bouldering, having done also Alphane, which isn't a walk in the park. He is one of the best competition climbers in the world, with most wins in the history of men. He might not have done hard Alpine climbing but that will probably come later....

[@jewbacha1137]

So epic! Full, live, uncut, multiple angles, no trashy music. Just the climber, the scenery, and the rock.

[@aidanhenn2217]

trashy music 🤨

[@popcorny007]

Starts climbing at 11:58, clips anchor at 31:14. 19 minutes 16 seconds on the wall :o

[@dylanb2086]

What?!?!?! How is that a sport climb lol - insane

[@Moarb1d]

Incredibly long route I thought it would never end, imagine the rope drag at the last 8a

[@xavxavxavier]

And crux at 24:00

[@lonesome3958]

Wjen ghisolfi climbed change I believe he was on the wall for nearly an hour

[@piotrosc]

28:18 that must have been soo stressfull for Jakob! It is amazing that he kept cool head!

[@robinsonfostier6105]

Amazing Jakob. Hopefully these streams will push more and more climbers into livestreaming these amazing feats. We were so privileged to witness this.

[@HoratioHoodoo]

It was cool to see live. quality was def lacking though

[@ashhodson2063]

This live streaming of attempts is the future of climbing content IMO! I feel more a part of this process than I've ever felt before. EPIC!

Booooo! Not everyone climbs 9C @@stefslyfe

[@stefslyfe]

@@ashhodson2063 what are you talking about

[@adventureswithhuy]

Only live streaming of hard climbs will attract a big enough audience. I don’t think many care about someone sending their 5+/5.9 project.

[@walterlotte4215]

@@stefslyfe Why would you complain about filming? I film every project I have, since watching yourself gives you important feedback... So what Ashhodson meant was: Nobody outside of 9b+/9c climbers is going to have drones & filmcrews following them. Hard to understand?

[@stefslyfe]

@@walterlotte4215 I didn’t say I would complain!!!! Did you not read the comment???? I literally agreed with him and said that the people who would start complaining are the purists!!!! Maybe read the comment first next time….damn.

Casually shakes off a broken hold at 28:18

[@jeffabelin9902]

That was a wild moment. Can't believe he stayed on.

[@chaosengine4597]

when you change the route to a 9c+ ;)

[@chuckz28]

That was damn near a Heartbreaker! I can't believe he stuck it. After watching it a few times it looks like he was still able to get his finger tips behind the broken section while keeping the broken rock in his hand then he hurried up to get his other hand back in. Crazy.

[@JayceJR]

That adrenaline helped him afterwards

[@jeffersin7092]

That's insane I've never seen some break a hold and stay on 😮

[@DanielsanTVs]

28:20 was the hold adam secretly left loose in case someone was getting the FA hahahahaha

[@maxxxxxi98]

Haha

I'm SO glad you didn't fall on the broken hold, my heart skipped a few beats there. GREAT JOB!!! I'm so happy for you

Section starting at 23:41 could figure in a museum as a piece of art. Sir Jakob Schubert, you are a great master.

[@christoph6879]

Congrats Jakob! Such an amazing performance. And the finest thing he said afterwards: he has an idea for the name of the route but he will discuss it with Adam if he’s ok with it. Respect

I made that comment live, but I will repeat it: we were watching that try with whole family- amazing, big congrats from Poland! A lot of emotions and screams, like we were in Flatanger… :D

[@javitoleon8271]

Amazing attempt!!! Went super strong and powerful (we could feel in the images) despite the humidity. But wind is always a big colleague for climbers. Scary when the hold breaks. Heart over 200 bpm. BIG CONGRATS JAKOB!!! You make the difficult easy. No matter the degree. Incredible route.

[@pureaberdeen8724]

Incredible send! Thank you so much for the live content, this is easily the most pure climbing video I have ever seen. Hope to see you and others live streaming again soon!

[@bigmonkeman66]

So good. Congrats to one of the best climbers in the world! Also keep livestreaming your projects, it's really a good idea. Watching you try and fail so many times before you actually succeed makes it that much more emotional for all the viewers even if they're thousands of kilometers away :) Again, amazing send, bravo!

[@HotSauceSlots]

That was amazing !! When that hold broke i got mad anxiety but you came through with the huge save !! Absolutely wow 🎉 💪🏽

The wet hand hold. The rock breaking mid hold. Insane circumstances foe a FA of PROJECT BIG. Absolutely incredible.

[@ianwoodvine5558]

My local indoor gym has " the Island " and 1 of its faces is about the same amount of overhand. I've only gotta do 1 route of about 12 moves, and I have to take 10 minutes to recover - Jakob's strength and endurance are insane

[@Jivewired]

Congrats Jakob, it's been so much fun getting to watch along with your attempts and cheer you on. My palms were sweaty from the crux onward, can't believe you were able to power through wet holds and a broken hold to finish it without a fall! Way to go, that was awesome!!!

[@bornagainintrepid]

Incredible send Jakob. Heart in mouth when the rock blew. 😲

[@kusanagi72]

Amazing achievement, amazing effort by the team to bring this live to us! When I started climbing I had to wait for the monthly magazine to know what went on. Now I can live stream someone sending one of the hardest routes in the world! Thank again for sharing this with us, feel privileged to have been able to follow you over the last week(s) Now enjoy the feeling!

[@theodorschultz2005]

Glückwunsch, epic send! Die Tatsache, dass ich Dir live von Colorado aus zusehen konnte, ist echt sau cool. Raw, honest, ohne viel post Produktion. Kletterfilme haben ihren Reiz, aber "einfach" dabeisein zu dürfen ist für echte Kletterer, die selber auch viel Projektieren, einfach next level und die tactics, der vib und so kommt einfach ganz anders rüber. Geil geil geil!!! Sau stark 💪 und so viel Emotion mit den nassen Griffen und dem gebrochenen Horn. Respekt, Danke für die Inspiration da trotz all dem dranzubleiben und zu kämpfen

How on earth did you manage to stay on the wall HOLDING the broken hold for a second ? It would have been heartbreaking falling here. But I'm happy you didn't ! One more big project in the bag, Bravo Jakob ! And more than the grade I'm curious about the name you will give to it.
