In reply to UKC News:
Thanks for explaining the difference between flash and first try. I think if abbing a route was allowed in a flash ascent everyone would be doing it and we'd all end up flashing a grade harder. So I think the 'first try' description is totally valid.
Megos is a total legend, following in the footsteps of the Huber brothers and Wolfgang Gullich. His one day ascent of Realization is unreal especially when you compare to the four years Sharma took.
Wondering if any of his new routes have been repeated or attempted yet. He seems to have done several new 9a's from Ceuse, Australia and even Germany I think.
Interesting that doing both of these two routes took less than 4 minutes total climbing time. I wonder what he did with the rest of his day.
