Once again, Alex Megos clears out hard routes in a short time

Alexander Megos was with Melissa Le Nevé for about a week in the climbing area Rumney in the US and climbed in this short time one 9a +, one 9a, two 8c + and one 8c.

Alexander Megos. seems to like Stipvisiten. Recently, the German top climber roared from one Swiss climbing classic to the next and fakelte with the passage not long (LACRUX reported). The past few days had to believe hard routes in the American climbing area Rumney.

Chronology of the ascent of Alex Megos in Rumney

Said five days ago Alex Megos after the commission of Jaws 2 (9a +) very surprised: “Wow, That went a bit faster than expected! I checked it out twice and didn't really find any beta that seemed to work although I tried about 5 different possibilities. And next go I just did it with one of the betas ?! Surprised but also happy about it! ”A day later he climbed Livin 'Astro and Livin 'Astro Glide (both 8c +). No 24 hours passed, already the next message came to us: Alex climbs China Beach (8c) and The Fly (9a). The last two routes Alex cracked on a single day of climbing. A small hook has the celebration of the last two routes: Alex climbed China Beach and The Fly already in October 2012. So it was repetitions.

The route Jaws 2 in Rumney

Unfortunately there is no video in the route from Alex Jaws 2 (9a +). Because the line is so beautiful, we would not want to deprive you of the movie of Paul Robinson's ascent four years ago.
