Lasse von Freier Sends Off the Wagon Low V16
Lasse von Freier repeated the famous problem at the start of the year and a new video about it just dropped
Off the Wagon is a powerful problem on a big boulder at the edge of a field in Val Bavona, Switzerland. It was first tried 20 years ago by Chris Sharma and Dave Graham before Nalle Hukkataival made the first ascent at V14 in 2012.
Shawn Raboutou climbed the low start and it became the first V16 in the country. Jimmy Webb repeated it and then Daniel Woods got the third ascent. Subsequent ascents have been by Giuliano Cameroni, Simon Lorenzi, Sergii Topishko, Yannick Flohé, Niccolò Ceria, Florian Wientjes, Francesco Berardino and most recently by Lasse von Freier.
“This one means so much to me,” von Freier said. “This kingline is definitely one of the best boulders out there.” Watch a new film about his send below
