In autumn 2023, Jakob Schubert achieved the first free ascent of one of the world's hardest climbs in Flatanger, Norway. The famous "Project Big" turned into the route B.I.G., with a proposed grade of 9c. Together with climbing phenom Adam Ondra, who had bolted the line, Jakob worked on completing the ascent – a unique joint venture between two of the sport's absolute elite. Equally unique and spectacular: all of Jakob's attempts were streamed live on YouTube, keeping the global climbing community on edge – no one knew if, or when, success would come. The film B.I.G. captures this tension and uncertainty, turning Jakob Schubert's triumph into a gripping shared experience. The film takes you not only up to the anchors but deep into the world of friendship-driven elite sport – with incredible motivation, relentless discipline, unshakable passion, and, because of all that, a profound joy in climbing.
