Fricking awesome footage, felt like a climber was climbing, vs Social media footage. It showed how hard the moves are, as Jakob is in full giver ... 100%. And he seems to have fun as well.
Translation after the send: Jakob: Oooahh Alfons: There he is!! Jakob: F*ck yes Alfons: F*ck yes Alfons: Awesome Jakob: Boah, i got that hold bad Alfons: Haha, the right one? Jakob: I didn’t full crimp it, just said f*ck it. Jakob: The problem was, I was so cold and the hole felt really bad. Alfons: The traverse was really cold? Jakob: Yes my fingertips were really cold and a bit numb that’s why the hole felt so bad Jakob: Boaah Alfons: F*ck yes, so nice! Jakob: Wait a second I will get the sling.
fantástico Jakob, tremendo esfuerzo que parece fácil cuando tu lo haces. en la segunda parte parece que estaba lloviendo...gracias por tan buen video, lástima que la última parte de las vías no se vio por tener la cámara fija.
Strong. Congrats to you. What do you think about the grade? You wrote in the comments 9b but in the video you said 9b+. And how long did the process take to send king capella?
I'm guessing he downgraded it? In the video, before climbing it, he said the route was graded 9b+ by the guy who bolted it. But then he calls it a 9b in the thumbnail and comments that would ofc be written after the fact.
You shouldn't clip the rope to the same carabiner you used to extend the QuickDraw. That way you can burn the draw and next time you fall it might break.
@@ferdik6640 the problem is that he has a draw and the rope in the same carabiner. If he Fallas both soft materials would rub against each other and possibly burn by friction. The rope would be fine because it's moving, but the top part of the 2nd draw of the chain is still and will burn really fast
@@simondelacanal4543 while I agree, I see a lot of pros do this. I think it's more for the mental game rather than to actually catch. Either way it isn't good for the gear
@@johnnylevek9757 I get your point, but my problem with that is that profesional climbers are role models for many people and many will see that and other wrong things pros do and will think it's ok while is not
no fancy hollywood..just two guys having a good time while climbing two of the hardest routes of the world. i like the fact, that we see how he removes the quickdraws on the way down.
Strange that you write 9b and 9a+ in the title as you are in a minority of that opinion? Giving an opinion is another thing entirely, i hope you see the distinction
Minority is not the right word. Megos questioned the grade of King Capella, but wouldn't downgrade till others had climbed it. Now another has climbed it, and the consensus is 9b. Probs to Will Bosi for putting it up, and daring to put the higher grade, but it was always just a suggestive grade, as Bosi hasn't climbed other 9b+'s (as I'm aware).
@@jipe4153 I might have jumped the gun here. Megos has an instagram post where he describes the difficulty in grading the sector. Go to that for clarity, although it just raises more questions. Anyway, I still see nothing wrong in writing the grade you value it as. Even though I prefer when there´s more of an explanation
@@madraven5915 tbf to Will, he graded it 9b+ since he was pretty sure it was a grade harder than La Capella, and since Ondra, Woods, and Ghisolfi all graded it 9b, he assumed it was a 9b. If Ondra and the others rated La Capella 9a+ he probably would've given King 9b.
A couple of things: first, it is quite validating to see one of the best climbers that has ever existed filmed a really important send the same way I filmed myself on a random V8; and second, I have $50 that says Daniel Woods could on-sight "King Capella". I mean if you look at the HEINOUS things that Daniel has done, well both "Blade Runner" and "The Process" are BOTH harder AND longer than "King Capella"! In the case of "The Process", by a fair bit. This is all coming from a nobody, and I am not, in ANY way denigrating the god-level accomplishment that is documented in this video, but is "King Capella" maybe a little over-graded? I mean if "Silence" is the ONLY climb more difficult, well it sure seems to be A LOT more difficult! Once again, I'm nobody, and the real likelihood is that Jakob is a god (which probably anyone watching this was aware of) but those two climbs do not seem to be remotely on the same level. And someone call Daniel and tell him there's $50 he could win! =D =D =D
I totally agree.. *NOT*🙈. Daniel Woods is a beast of boulder and has for sure proven he is superb at rock climbing as well but you mustn't assume that any good tennis player is a equally gifted at, say, badminton...See what I mean?
super inspiring to watch! congrats dude
A Jakob classic I would say - incredibly strong dude - congrats and all the best for Alfons's projects.

Really inspiring man! Such a beast, always appreciate your honest comments on the grades.
Damn, thanks for the closeup on first holds of King Capella. Looks like the route blasts you in the face from the first move...
Maschine! So was von eindrücklich!! Chapeau.
Jakob is insanely strong, and that level of fitness is amazing !
love the vibes! It's just the two of them but you can feel stoke is high
9b and 9a+ in the same day ! crazy mate . Congrats! super psyched
So smooth. I am happy for you. STROOOOOOHHNNGG!
+ And this might be the future of documenting the lines ;D mucho respecta...
Congrats !!!
Amazing climbing, great filming, but what a partnership! Everyone needs a wingman like you two have...
felt like cruise control on both routes, especially on La Capella!
Mega inspiring!
Did you mean Megos inspiring? 😉

I‘m definitely no expert but wouldn‘t he just fall in the top drawer and the lower one wouldn‘t be stressed at all?

sick one! they look mint!
Respect in just 4 days, what have you done the rest of your trip? is there more to come?
ye he sent furia de jabali and flashed jungle speed, source his insta
That's one nice extended quickdraw here ! =)
OMG now you have to climb 9c for sure!
Jakob is the second best climber ever and was the best in the Olympics
Every body gangsta on 8b till your belayer send 9b and 9a+ the same day
WoW!!!! you've to pay double beer's round :-) Congrats!!
I thought king Capella was 9b+? Was it downgraded I can’t listen to the audio of this video so I have no clue if he mentioned it
will bosi graded it 9b+, jacob suggested 9b
Hey, now Jakob and I have something in common.
Same shoes 😎
🤩

Dem rocks film good
Just try to flash La rambla

That long ass draw looks so jank
I’ve heard of extending a draw but this is just getting ridiculous man
definitely aid

hahaha la capella 9B (Maybe 9a+) took Daniel woods 5 days of projecting, it took Jakob 5 tries...
