Alexander Megos announces an incredible list of routes that he scored in Allgäu in southern Germany within five days.
Another athlete, Alex Megos, proves that the corona lockdown had no negative impact on the climbing performance of the professionals. In view of the travel restrictions that still apply, Alex drove to the southern German region of Allgäu and climbed one difficult tour after the other.
It feels awesome to finally be back on the rock and attach a rope to the belt!
