Alasha - Jakob Schubert on Mallorca's hardest deep water solo lines | Part 1

Jakob Schubert heads to Mallorca for his first real deep water solo trip and immediately dives into the island’s cutting-edge lines. Part 1 follows his process on Alasha, a Chris Sharma test piece, as Jakob fights for the second ascent with the ocean far below. What makes this one gripping is the head game: an 8a boulder crux executed around 15 meters above the water, where precision and hesitation have real consequences. With iconic stops like Es Pontas and Cova del Diablo along the way, it’s a tense, beautiful look at world-class climbing where commitment matters as much as strength.
