Jacopo Larcher

Jacopo Larcher is an Italian climber from South Tyrol (born 1989) who is identified in the record as a practitioner of traditional climbing and big-wall objectives. The films in this catalog place him squarely in the Yosemite tradition: long ring-and-cambium rope teams, multi-pitch route-reading, and the protection-focused techniques that define hard trad on big walls.

Across the three pieces here you see different sides of that practice. Babsi Zangerl & Jacopo Larcher vs Zodiac records a prolonged, on-route fight on Zodiac (listed in the record at 5.13d), with the edit emphasising the grind of sustained difficulty over many pitches; it’s useful for viewers who want to watch how two climbers manage rope systems, haul and sequence hard free climbing on a steep El Capitan wall. FREE ASCENT of El Capitan’s 2nd Hardest Route | ft. Babsi Zangerl & Jacopo Larcher condenses a single hard free line — Magic Mushroom (VI 5.14a) — into concentrated climbing sequences, showing rope-team choreography and how moves that look like sport cruxes fit into a big-wall link-up. Finally, The Traditionalist - Chapter One shifts focus from spectacle to method: the film mixes on-route footage with gear work, belaying, and commentary about local ethics and protection strategies, making it practical viewing for climbers curious about Yosemite’s trad culture and how experienced climbers choose lines and manage risk.

Together these films are a compact portrait of an experienced trad climber working both the micro — gear and beta for hard moves — and the macro — logistics and style on long El Capitan routes.
