FrictionLabs Pro Alex Megos is one of the most efficient rock climbers in the world. Not only that––he's also one of the strongest.
In just less than a week, with no rest between climbing days, Alex climbed 10 routes throughout Switzerland from 8b+ (5.14a) to 9a (5.14d). For most talented climbers, that can take years of work. For many more, it's a lifetime. Somehow, for the 24-year-old German powerhouse, it took six days.
Here's Alex's ticklist from his trip:
Day 1 & 2 – Voralpsee
Speed Integrale 9a
Day 3 – Chuenisberg
Ravage 8b+/c
Enfant de la Boheme 8c
L'appel de la Foret 8c
Day 4 – Tufleten
Im Reich des Shogun 9a
Day 5 – Soyhieres
Les Temps Difficiles 8c+
Mines de Rien 8b+
Ramstein 8b+
Deja 8b+
Day 6 – Val Bavona
Coup de Grace 9a
