Megos does 12 routes 8c and harder in 8 days
Alex Megos has some kind of new record doing an 8c or harder in seven days in a row during his "Old school classics" tour around Switzerland. Here is his amazing tick list including also an eigtht day, in a row, going to Arco.
Patrick Matros, one of Megos' coaches, accompanied him on the marathon tour where it also rained most of the days. "It was important for Alex to meet some of the 1st ascenders like Beat Kammerlander and Eric Talmadge. His aim was, to repeat some of the hard ultraclassics of Switzerland. Not so much to throw down every hard route there, despite his long list."
Day 1. Speed 8c+ (2nd Go)
2. Speed Integral 9a (6th Go)
3. Ravage 8c. Enfant de Boheme 8c, L'appel de la foret 8c: (All 2nd Go)
4. Im Reich des Shogun 9a (3rd Go) Thomas Ballenberger
5. Les temps difficiles 8c+, Rammstein 8c, two 8b+': (All 2nd Go)
6. Coup de Grace 9a (2nd Go)
7. Deus Irae 8c+ (2nd Go)
The eighth day in a row, Alex drove to Arco and had a gym session with Stefano Ghisolfi and later he did Sid Lives 9a and Bucking Bronco 8c+.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
