2023 was Jakob Schubert's year in which everything came together: He won two world championship titles, qualified for the Olympics at the earliest possible date, opened BIG (9c) and repeated Alphane (9A). Mammut has documented this year for the history books in a documentary that is absolutely worth watching.
Jakob Schubert is an institution in the sport of climbing. In competitive climbing, he has collected so many medals at World Cups and World Championships that even his coaches and those around him can no longer keep track of exactly how many he actually has.
As a strong opponent, the Austrian pushed his competitors to peak performance and thus had a decisive influence on the development of the sport of climbing. And not only on plastic, but also on rock.
For the history books: Schubert's climbing year 2023
Among all his successes, the year 2023 stands out in particular. What Jakob Schubert was able to achieve this season is unparalleled: Two World title, the successful Olympic qualification, the First ascent of the 9c route BIG in Flatanger and the Repetition of the 9A boulder Alphane in Chironico.
The mammoth documentary Devotion shows in an impressive way how Jakob Schubert became one of the strongest and most comprehensive climbers of our time. A must-see!
