how on earth did Jakob climb with that awful music?

Great end to a rainy rest day in cham!
The music was much better for most of the other climbs, just bad timing for the winner.

Yes, in sequence too I believe.

Very impressive stuff, but I'd like to have seen it from some other angles too.

I thought it looked one of the least inspiring looking walls I've ever seen, as I drove past it the other day, so I doubt if that would have helped!
