Jimmy Webb’s Pre-Coronavirus Sends of Hard Problems

Jimmy Webb shared news about two hard problems he sent early last month in Ticino, bot being second ascents. Switzerland now has nearly 1,000 deaths due to covid-19.

Webb climbed Poison the Well V16 in Brione, a Giuliano Cameroni problem, and Roadkill V15 in Valle Bavona by Shawn Raboutou. Webb has climbed 25 problems V15 or harder with the oterh V16s being: Off the Wagon Sit, Ephyra, Sleepwalker and Creature from the Black Lagoon

“Covid has definitely kept me from climbing. I’ve been doing some hangboard workouts and now I’m in the process of building a Kilterboard on the back porch.” Webb talks about staying psyched during Coronavirus below.

Throwing it back to simpler times last month in Ticino, CH. Its been a struggle to stay psyched at the moment and to see the point of even posting something on here. Yet, in the end, I suppose our lives must go on. Even if it’s a life much different from what we’re used to.. I’d like to think we will come out of this a changed world for the better. We’re all in this together and I hope everyone out there is being as smart and safe as possible. ? As for this picture, taken of course by the homie @kevintakashismith, is of me snagging the second ascent of ‘Poison the Well’ 8C+ . After putting in a good amount of effort last season it felt so damn good to come back and finish it up. Huge fist bump to my amico @giuliano_cameroni for establishing this test piece. Giul has always been one of the best climbers I’ve ever met, and his drive and motivation towards pushing the limit of our sport is something I respect so much. Cheers homie, you’re a legend ? #bouldering #ticino #staysafe @hippytree @tenayaclimbing @organicclimbing @metoliusclimbing
