Back in March we reported on German sport sensation Alex Megos' short trip to the UK (see UKC News Item). 

The list of routes Alex climbed during his short stay included:

  • Mecca, 8b+ - 2nd go
  • Raindogs, 8a - 2nd go
  • Overnite Sensation, 8a+ - flash
  • Austrian Oak, 8b - 2nd go
  • Unjustified, 8c - 4th go
  • Bat Route, 8c - 2nd go

 

Now we have a fantastic video from DMM featuring Alex in the UK. What comes across in the video is not only how strong Alex is - firing off hard classic after hard classic with barely a moment's rest in between - but his happy, fun loving personality.

No doubt picking up bad habits from native speakers, but his English is much better than my German so I thought it would be churlish to complain! Shame you tuned out, as you missed out on a great showcase of hard British sport climbing.

Check out Megos on Hubble! 8:23 in. He says it's hard for 8c+ but hard to judge due to its unusual character.
