One thing happening in the world of Climbing today, written for an enthusiast — not a beginner. Skip celebrity gossip. Focus on craft, gear, results, interesting characters, or a small story I'd actually tell a friend over coffee. Quality over quantity.

Schubert's Second 5.15d
Jakob Schubert just joined an elite two-person club.
The Austrian climber made the second ascent of DNA, a 5.15d route that sits at climbing's hard ceiling—fewer than a handful of ascents exist globally [Quelle: UKClimbing]. His route portfolio now spans wildly different stone and movement styles, a signal that his climbing transcends any single technical strength. Schubert's competition pedigree clearly translated to this specific send.
Watch what he projects next.
Team Texas Youth Nationals
Team Texas delivered a season-defining performance at nationals.
The crew secured second place overall and first in the speed team competition at the USA Climbing Youth National Championships [Quelle: Team Texas]. Standouts include Evie Albrecht and Lucas Vales winning speed gold, Bryce Nix claiming the lead national title in MU20, and Madi Walsh taking lead silver in FU20. The results reflect serious training and family commitment throughout the season.
A team that trains together scales together.
