Jakob Schubert (born December 31, 1990) is an Austrian professional rock climber, sports climber and boulderer. He is a World Champion (2012, 2018) and World Cup winner (2011, 2014) in Lead climbing, and his highest redpointed grade on rock is 9b.
Biography
He started climbing in 2003, when he was twelve years old. In 2004, he participated in the European Youth Cup and World Youth Championships. Since 2007, he regularly participates in the World Cup competitions for lead climbing. For seven world Cup seasons out of ten, from 2007 to 2016, he also competed in bouldering.
In 2011, he won the Lead World Cup and the silver medal at the Lead World Championships in Arco.[1] The World Cup was outstandingly obtained by winning seven consecutive competitions in that season. Previously, no climber was ever able to win as many World Cup competitions in a single season (in 2002, Alexandre Chabot had won six).[2]
In 2012, he won the Lead Climbing World Championships in Paris.[3]
In 2014, he won the World Cup for the second time.
In 2018, when he was 27 years old, he became World Champion again, in his own birth place and home town, Innsbruck. He earned the title by reaching in the final event the same score as Adam Ondra (36+), but a higher score in the semifinal, where he ranked second after Domen Skofic. A few days later, in the same competition, he also conquered the Combined title by ranking second in Speed, first in Bouldering and second in Lead.
