Watch Jimmy Webb Send Off the Wagon Sit V16

Jimmy Webb recently made the first repeat of Off the Wagon sit, a V16 problem first freed by Shawn Raboutou in Val Bavona, Switzerland in 2018. The problem is the most difficult boulder problem in Switzerland.

The sit start begins on a wagon and climbs Off The Wagon, which Nalle Hukkataival first climbed in 2012 and Webb repeated in 2013. It then moves up a shallow seam that requires a no-foot cross-over (this specific one is known as a “rose” move) on less-than-ideal holds.

Mellow Climbing put together a short video (below) which shows Webb making smooth work of the burly problem.

Off and on and off the wagon! Last year after many days of efforts I came up empty handed on the new Swizzy testpiece “Off the Wagon sit” 8C+ established by my homie @shawnraboutou. This season though started out with a bang and two weeks ago I snagged the 2nd ascent. ? Head over to the link in my bio for the uncut posted on the one and only @mellowclimbing ? ? ? Cheers @kevintakashismith for the ? and the ?. @hippytree @tenayaclimbing @organicclimbing @metoliusclimbing
