Jakob Schubert travels to Ticino, Switzerland — one of the world's premier bouldering destinations — for two focused trips that result in one of the most impressive ticklists in recent memory. The centerpiece is his second ascent of Story of Three Worlds, a legendary 8C+/V16 problem that sits at the very frontier of human climbing ability. But this is far more than a single-problem film: Schubert methodically works through some of Ticino's most storied lines, including Return of the Dreamtime and Vecchio Leone sit, painting a vivid picture of a region that has long been a proving ground for the world's best boulderers. What makes this film essential viewing is the uncut, commented format — Schubert walks viewers through his process on each problem, offering rare insight into how a world-class athlete reads movement, manages conditions, and sustains elite performance across a dense trip. Spanning six problems rated between V14 and V16, the footage captures both the raw struggle and the explosive precision that define bouldering at this level. Whether you're drawn to the technical breakdowns, the stunning Swiss granite, or simply the spectacle of watching someone operate at the absolute edge of what's possible on rock, this is 27 minutes that demand your full attention.
