Jacopo Larcher

Feels so good to see @jacopolarcher reveal that diamond on his chest. 😮‍💨 From big wall free climbing to months-long alpine expeditions, Jacopo is one of the best all-around climbers out there. He’s no stranger to our gear, but we’re stoked to finally add BD apparel to his repertoire and tap into every facet of his many years of experience climbing at the highest levels in all disciplines. This soft-spoken Italian will be a serious asset to BD’s climbing equipment and apparel moving forward. Head to the link in our bio to watch Jacopo Larcher take down the James Pearson trad test piece route in Annot, France Bon Voyage (9a/5.14d)

Some routes, for various reasons, gain a special meaning and become much more than just a piece of rock. This one was definitely one of those! Thanks to everyone who shared this journey with me, both there and from home. „Bon Voyage“, Nonna 🖤 📸 @onsen_productions (1,2), @raphaelfourau (7) @thenorthface @blackdiamond @lasportivagram @corosglobal @flugschulearlberg

Back home from some really cool days with @lasportivagram and a big crew of old friends at the @melloblocco ! It felt good to spend some quality time in one my favorite places, combing everyday some of the things I love doing the most and sharing it with friends! Skin and legs feel sore now 🤣 Thanks everyone for the good time. I can’t wait for the next year! ___ @blackdiamond @lasportivagram @evileye.eyewear

Hello (again) @blackdiamond 😃! I couldn‘t be more stoked to now represent the brand on the apparel side as well! It almost feels weird to call it a new beginning, as I’ve been using their gear and I‘ve already had the chance to share so many amazing moments and trips with the BD fam over the past decade, but it definitely marks a new chapter, I‘m incredibly excited about! For me, Black Diamond is not just about great products, but about the people behind them. Passionate, genuine, deeply connected and committed to what they do and the communities they’re part of. It really feels like home. It’s simply a community of people and brand, I‘m proud to be part of and happy to represent. I’m really looking forward to what’s ahead—hopefully full of fun times together, meaningful projects, and the chance to create amazing new products together. Let‘s go! ___ 📸 @onsen_productions

Another bad quality photo dump of another quality trip down south 😅 After a small 5 days climbing break for training 🪂 over the lake… I spent the last two days climbing around Arco with Babsi and a lot of friends. Motivation was high after the days off, plus it was great to check out a new crag and sample some quality lines! Super psyched to finish off the trip with an on-sight of „Janja“ ☑️. Probably not the hardest 8c, but a really cool one! What a cool week! Time to go back to setting now. ___ @blackdiamond @lasportivagram

Bad quality photo dump of two short quality trips to Arco! It felt great to escape the bad weather at home, enjoy some good coffee ☕️ and sample some rock after the winter training. Pretty happy to sneak two relatively quick ascents of „Tre mou polacche“ and „Mascella serrata“: two of the latest 9a additions from the master @gabrimoroni . Completely different styles, but both 5 stars line! Psyched for some trips down south before the Rätikon season starts! @blackdiamond @lasportivagram

So many things have changed over the last 15 years, but @thenorthface has always been by my side throughout this journey. When I look back, I don’t think my younger self could have ever imagined living so many adventures, both on and off the wall, or that my climbing would take this direction. It feels so far from what I used to do as a teenage climber. When I joined the TNF team, I had just quit competition climbing and was traveling, trying to understand which direction I wanted to take in my (climbing) life. Thanks to many unforgettable trips and incredible people, my focus quickly shifted toward trad and big wall climbing — experiences that reshaped my passion and motivation for the sport, leading me to everything I’ve been lucky enough to live over the years. A huge part of those unforgettable moments and adventures was only possible thanks to the constant support of TNF and my amazing teammates. I’ll always be grateful for the time spent together, the trips, and the memories that have shaped who I am today. But all good things eventually come to an end, and I’ve decided it’s time for a new path. Thank you so much for all these years, TNF 🤍 ___ 📽️ @louderthan11 @paolosartophoto @reelrock @onsen_productions @rikyfelderer @storytellerlabs @francoislebeau @pietro_porro

Quick trip down south to escape the snow, sample some limestone in the sun and drink some good coffee! It felt good to go cragging again after a few months spent climbing mostly indoors, sample some classics and check out some harder stuff. But the highlight was definitely to see @babsizangerl being able to try hard again after her injury!🙂 Good times! ___ @thenorthface_climb @blackdiamond @lasportivagram

Jacopo Larcher — Big Walls, Big Trust Jacopo Larcher is a true all-rounder, moving effortlessly between trad, big walls, and hard free climbing. In this episode of The Skwama Diaries, Jacopo talks about climbing Magic Mushroom, the iconic 8b+ multipitch big wall in Yosemite National Park, and how he used the La Sportiva Skwama on a route where precision, comfort, and trust have to last for pitch after pitch. Climbed alongside his partner Babsi Zangerl, Magic Mushroom is steep, physical, and committing — the kind of climb where every detail matters, long after the first crux. Big walls. Long days. Real decisions. The Skwama Diaries

As most of the years, also these winter months have been devoted to some more structured training. After a busy year, it feels good to be at home, focusing on getting a solid fitness base for the upcoming projects in between some work. Psyched for the spring season and touch some rock again 🙂! @corosglobal #exploreperfection

Back home after a few busy months on the road… and back to “winter”! 🙂 The first little skitour of the season was also the perfect way for testing the new @corosglobal #Apex4, a nice surprise that I found when I got back. I think I found my new training partner for the upcoming months 🙂

‘Bon Voyage’ (E12) is among the hardest trad routes in the world. End of November, @jacopolarcher repeated this notoriously difficult climb. “Everything aligned and I slipped into one of those rare flow states where everything feels almost effortless. Finishing a project with a big fight is great, but it’s also nice to finish such a long and challenging process in this way. In the end it’s just a piece of rock, but I’m grateful for what this route taught me... it’s always worth sticking with a goal, no matter how much you struggle. It reminded me of the importance of sharing the process with others, reconnected me with a country where I’ve spent a lot of good times and—especially on this last trip—reconnected me with my climbing.” - Jacopo. #NeverStopExploring
