Three 9a's during a rainy week for Alex Megos

Alex Megos, who two weeks ago was #7 in the Munich Boulder WC and who won the semifinal one week later in the Arco Lead WC, has delivered again. On Facebook he reports, "WOW! What a week! Today was the last day of my @redbullswitzerland trip! I climbed 6 days straight, visited 3 totally different areas and climbed "Coup de grรขce" 9a my 3rd 9a this week! Couldn't have wished for any better last day of this trip!" Checking his page, you understand that is has been raining most of the time and that the other 9a's he did were Im Reich des Shogun and Speed Integral. Alex seems to have stepped up another level this year and now we can hope that he will try to make it to Tokyo 2020.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s 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. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
