Jakob Schubert in Magic Wood 2020 - The Never Ending Story Flash

The Borders to Switzerland finally opened so Jakob took the oppurtunity right away to have two great climbing days in Magic Wood.

Impressive. That makes it his second 8B+ flash too. A quick Google suggests that Webb and Ondra are the only others to have flashed more than one 8b+ to date so it's a pretty exclusive group...

Watching Schubert climb, he appears to be weightless. I think there's a case to answer that he's using some sort of performance-enchancing gravity. Really impressive to see so many hard ticks in two (rainy!) days, with lots of flashes and a lot of endurance!

Looks from this list like he's only flashed one 8b+ as opposed to two? https://onbouldering.com/the-8b-flashers-club/

May well be out of date though...

Sorry, missed the more than one bit. I think Ned has 'only' flashed one of them. I think the V14 flash club is pretty exclusive too.
