13 Oct Alex Megos, a present for New River Gorge

Alex Megos did the FA of a new route graded by talented German 9a in New River Gorge that represents now the hardest line in this area. Super Pod, this is the name of the route, is the prosecution of Pod, an 8a+ route bolted by Porter Jarrard, great climber of the zone and is located at Coliseum sector in Summersville, West Virginia. After the first chain, Alex resolved the 8a boulder problem in four attempts till the second. This is another great example of Alex work to valorize sport climbing thanks to an incredible number of new routes, in particular 9a, all around the world.

In addiction to Super Pod, Alex did also:
Trebuchet 8c flash
Picket Fence 8c second try
Into the Sarlacc 8c second try
Still Life 8c second try
Proper Soul 8b+ flash
Lord Voldemort 8b+ first try (variante di Proper Soul)
