On September 20, 2023, Jakob Schubert was able to climb “B.I.G.” (formerly known as “Project Big”) in Flatanger, Norway—one of the most demanding sport climbing routes in the world. Originally bolted by Adam Ondra, the route remained a project for over a decade. After working on it together in 2022, Jakob returned the following year with a new idea: attempting the climb while livestreaming my tries. “B.I.G. – A World First” documents this journey—capturing not only the ascent itself, but also the mental side of pushing Jakob’s limits on a route that once felt impossible.

Albert Leichtfried is not only an experienced extreme climber but also the head of training for the Austrian Mountain Guides Association. Together with his ideal partner Benedikt Purner—also a mountain guide instructor—they are considered Austria’s most renowned ice-climbing duo. The far north holds a special allure for the pair; they return from every trip there with spectacular stories and first ascents. On their fourth trip to Iceland, one particular objective proves nearly impossible: the first ascent of a "sea cliff"—an icefall that extends all the way down to the ocean. Winter storms make the boat journey required to reach it extremely dangerous.
