Megos on the ‘ring my bell’ problem was a window into why he’s one of the world’s best climbers, the application to the task is inspiring. As was watching him warm up on the Murple circuit yesterday afternoon.
I watched Alex a few days before the comp on the Works comp wall. He did one of the orange problems completely footless - wasn't even wearing shoes. Jan Hojer then tried and couldn't even do it using his feet - well not in the first few tries at least. Very impressive.
I was actually surprised he didn't win. Great effort by Jim Pope, who after about 30 campus moves was still able to hang one handed and try to knock off Alex.
I did wonder if Alex was disadvantaged by his round against Louis Parkinson. That round was run twice and both times it was quite long. And there didn't seem much rest time between that and the final.

35 minutes of build up for 15 minutes of utter tripe. Such a dissapointing finale.

that's all very well but can he do the hanging bar challenge?

No I'm not. It was totally overhyped. Several of the matchups lasted less than 2 seconds.
