Big conflict in Frankenjura: Megos vs Bock

Three weeks ago, Alex Megos posted on Insta that somebody had chopped the bolts of his recent FA, The Last Dance, which Julian Söhnlein had bolted. Megos said that, "The route was legally bolted and totally legitimate." and blamed the old generation for it.

Later it was found out that the chopping had been done by Michael Ordnung who had put up the neighbouring route Burn for you 8c in 1993, claiming that the new route was too close. Markus Bock, known for having said that if somebody puts up neighbouring routes to close he will act, was at the scene when the chopping occurred. Bock then made a comment on Instagram, "You will war!" Then it escalated so badly so you will have to find out in the below video.
