Jacopo Larcher

Jacopo Larcher is an Italian rock climber from Bolzano in South Tyrol who has lived in Austria since 2008. He began climbing at the age of ten, spent his early years competing indoors, and in 2011 turned to outdoor climbing, where traditional and big wall routes became his main passions. Black Diamond credits him with the first ascent of the trad route Tribe in Cadarese, Italy, and describes his travels from Yosemite to remote mountains in Pakistan, often with his partner Babsi Zangerl. Together they have made free ascents on El Capitan, and the Wikipedia article on Zangerl records the pair making the first repeat of the Eiger route Odyssee in 2018. Away from the rock he works as an international route setter and enjoys paragliding, skiing and photography.
