Alex Megos: 9c first ascent!
His sign on the hardest route in Céüse
07 August 2020Alex 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.
