Alexander Megos climbs Monkey Wedding (8c) in 30 minutes

Recently, we reported on Charles Albert, who barefooted the 8c boulder Monkey Wedding. An incredible achievement. Stored differently, however, just as incomprehensibly crass: Alexander Megos cut off Monkey Wedding on his first day in the Rocklands in just 30 minutes.

His comment: “What ?! That went faster then expecting! First day here in Rocklands and already sent "Monkey Wedding". Did try it 3 years ago for half a day but thought I was too weak. This trip it didn't feel very hard at all! Totally suites my style I guess. Super excited for more! ”And we will certainly hear more from the German Powerhouse. He's damn fit, as he proved a few weeks ago while climbing a route.

Here is an excerpt from his last visits
