9b / + first ascent and 9a flash for Alex Megos
In the space of just two days, Alex Megos has made the first ascent of El Touareg Blanco (9b) as well as a flash ascent of Mr Big (9a).
Our Friday Night Video this week is a feature-length documentary about the sport climbing superstar, Alex Megos. The film looks at where the limits of sport climbing are currently, opening with Alex musing that Sharma's Jumbo Love (9b) should be flashable if you're strong enough. The film intertwines contemporary footage of Alex attempting the first ascent of Perfecto Mundo, with archive explaining the birth of redpointing in Germany during the early 80s. A fantastic insight into one of the sport's top talents.
