Jakob Schubert, boulder machine at Magic Wood
While it's obvious that if he starts doing this seriously he can do outstandingly well in this discipline (in February he rapidly sent his first 8B+ problem), Schubert has now produced a startling run, ticking two 8B+ problems and flashing an 8B all on the same day. The list published below isn't merely a "ticklist" of any old names and numbers, it's confirmation of why Schubert is considered one of the most talented and complete sport climbers of his generation. There's no need to add anything else, apart from the fact that on Sunday he climbed the 8B+ Mystic Stylez twice. Once for himself, and once for the cameras...
Day 1: La Danse 7C+, Côte... 7C+ flash, Astronautenfieber 8A, Massive Attack 8A/8A+ flash
Day 2: Foxy Lady 8A flash, Voigas 8A+, Riverbed 8B flash, From shallow waters to Riverbed 8b+, Mystic Stylez 8B+
