Alex Megos has made the first ascent of Perfecto mundo, 9b+, at Margalef - Zona del Panta North, Spain, thereby becoming the third person to climb this grade after Adam Ondra and Chris Sharma.

After the Meiringen bouldering World Cup in mid April, Alex drove straight to Margalef where he "wanted to try some projects".

He worked the old Chris Sharma project together with Sharma himself and Stefano Ghisolfi, who also ended up belaying him on the send go.

On Instagram, Alex says that he is

"...incredibly relieved. This has been an important process in my climbing career and clipping the anchor of "Perfecto Mundo", my first 9b+ as well as getting the FA was an incredible experience.
Thank you to @chris_sharma for bolting this thing and the good sessions over the last couple of weeks and big thanks to my good friend @steghiso for belaying me on the send, for being a big source of motivation and a great inspiration to me."

Alexander Megos is sponsored by: Café Kraft, Entre-Prises, Faza brushes, GORE-TEX, Multicamper Adventure, Patagonia, Red Bull, Sterling Rope, Tenaya and Vertical Life Climbing
