Uncut: Jimmy Webb - Zika (8B+/V14) FA

Jimmy Webb steps onto a razor-thin line in Tahoe, California, taking on the first ascent of Zika (8B+/V14) in this tight, no-frills “Uncut” session from mellow. In under four minutes, the film drops you right at the base of an elite boulder problem and lets the tension build as Webb works toward a breakthrough on one of Tahoe’s hardest testpieces. What makes it worth watching is the purity: no narration, no distractions—just movement, effort, and the quiet intensity of a climber matching strength with precision. You’ll catch the subtle details that separate an attempt from a send: micro-adjustments on tiny holds, controlled breathing, and that decisive commitment when it’s time to go. If you love seeing top-tier bouldering distilled to its essence, Zika delivers.
