Jakob Schubert went on two short trips to one of the best bouldering areas in Switzerland and made the second ascent of Story of Three Worlds, and sent some of the hardest problems of the area in just a few days. The list of ascents includes classics like Big Paw V14/15, Return of the Dreamtime V15, Mithril Sit V14, Vecchio Leone Sit V16 and Lion’s Share V15.

Schubert is one of the world’s best climbers. He’s won two bronze medals at the Olympics, he’s climbed V17 (watch), he’s suggested that his route Big is a 5.15d and last year he won the Red Bull multi-pitch climbing competition with Jessi Pilz – read about it here.

Shawn Raboutou made the first ascent of Story of Three Worlds in 2022, doing it twice in a row because he dabbed the tree. Watch both ascents below.
