Red Ram 9a+ 3rd go by Alex Megos

Alex Megos reports on Insta that he has done the first repeat of Ramon Julian Puigblanque's 2013 test-piece, Red Ram (9a+) in Montserat, on his third try.

The last week, he has previously done the FA of The Full Journey 9b and repeated Gancho Perfecto 9a/+ commenting, "I do have to say, it seems weird to see so many holds and footholds "eroding" and getting bigger in the course of only four years." (c) Mario Martinez Munoz

A Ramonet 9a+ on 3rd try is amazing?
Yeah, I was pretty pleased with that, especially because I thought after breaking the hold I might not be able to get up it. I'm in Margalef for the whole time but went to Montserrat for one day for a film project with Tenaya.

How long will you stay in the area and what are the next plans?
I'll stay in Margalef for the rest of the time. The Full Journey was my main goal and it went down in the first week so I have time to check out more stuff 😁👌🏼
