Presentation:

B.I.G. - A World First Q&A

Join legendary Austrian climber Jakob Schubert for an in-depth conversation following the screening of B.I.G. – A World First. In this intimate Q&A, Jakob reflects on his journey toward climbing one of the hardest routes in the world — B.I.G. (graded 9c / 5.15d) — a climb that represents the culmination of years of dedication, mental focus, and relentless pursuit of perfection.

He’ll share behind-the-scenes insights from the film, stories from his time projecting the route, and what it takes to push the boundaries of human potential on the rock. This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from one of the greatest climbers of all time about the process, mindset, and emotion behind a truly historic ascent.
