New 9b by Alex Megos, one of his 'most successful trips so far'
After three weeks in Margalef, Alex Megos has shared the news of what he described as 'one of my best and most successful trips so far', and it's impressive reading.
Alex Megos has made quick work of a number of hard problems while in Wales for a DMM athlete meeting and climbing festival.

From his instagram: Still had a few things I left from last time so this afternoon I could tick off Pool of Bethesda, 8A+, Malc's Start, 8B, Halfway House, 8A/+, Directors Cut, 8B, East Coker, 8B and Louis Armstrong, 8B. So it's been a good day out!!
In his usual modest way, Alex explains that it's not such a big deal because I did an 8A+ first, which was the stand start to an 8B I did after. Then I did another 8A+ which was the stand start to another 8B. This 8B was 20 moves long so my style.
Then I did another 8B with almost 20 moves so as well my style. And then I did another short 8B.
So it's sometimes just stand starts to others and longer so my style.
He does agree however that super human strength and skill might help just a tiny bit as well.
