Megos flashes four 8B's in Norway

Alex Megos reports on Instagram from his impressive 12-day trip to Vingsand and Hell. In total, he sent 20 boulders 8A to 8B+, and a 9a, including four 8B flashes; The Bavarian, Verden pรฅ Lรธrdag, Hulefesten and Ormen Lange. (c) Dinosaauuur

Can you tell us more about your trip and the quality of the boulders in Vingsand?
It was truly amazing to spend a bit of time in Vingsand! The quality of the boulders is stunning. The rock is very similar to the rock around Flatanger, so everyone who has been there knows, it doesn't get much better. The place itself with all its Fjords and small towns is absolutely beautiful. Despite the world class boulders there are not many people though. In my eyes, the potential for new stuff (boulders and routes) is still huge. It just needs a few motivated people with some time.
