07 Aug Alex Megos: 9c first ascent!

Alex Megos has climbed Bibliographie, establishing the first 9c in Céüse. 

The price? 60 days of work. Alex Megos is the second man in the world who climbs a 9c line, first ever in the Céüse crag. The line is near to Biographie and it is about 35 meters, bolted by Ethan Pringle. For climbing Biographie, three goes in a day have been enough. Compared with the other hard lines, like Perfecto Mundo (9b+), Megos thinks that 9c could be the proper grade. In his post, he says that anyway the grade is strictly a personal opinion.
