A Muerte (9a) second go as well... the boy is on fire!

What? After the 9a onsight, now 9a second go?
He's already getting worse!
Sunset boulevard.
Has-been wad.
End of career.
Plus, tiny hands, weighs 30 kilos, if I had the same time to dedicate to climbing I'd do the same, and it's Spanish grades.
Pah.
 

[SA Chris]

Did you have tiny hands and weigh 30 kg too?

[Richie Crouch]

Lore's forearms weigh about 30kg each! 

[petejh]

He's definitely peaked, sad really. Too much too young.

New hero of mine. Watching him trying to flash L'odi Social at Cam piqi-Pugi, falling off, dogging to the top and sending next go without any fuss or shouting was humbling. Also from what he was like on the top half of La Rambla it didnt look like he had been on it after failing to flash, 9a+ ground up scenes. A proper Limbs Mckenzie though....

I mean he has long limbs and a small body, like those spindly crag spiders you get round dusty lime crags. I was playing on the Tits McGee phrase but had forgot this is an in-joke (in crowd of 1).

Here is a great interview from RCUK where he talks about onsighting:
http://rockclimbinguk.co.uk/alex-megos-hard-onsight-climbing/

[Jaspersharpe]

Megos has done the FA of a 9a+ in the Jura, bolted by Bindhammer and attempted by Bock amongst others. Sounds like he smashed it, "3 days" but actually a quick look a year and a half ago, a few tries on the Thursday evening and then did it 1st go Friday. Amusingly translated here:

[krymson]

"As if not the laws of gravity applied to him", Megos has succeeded on Pantera 9a  in one day

Well done Alex, the mans on fire.

What a piss-poor write-up by Björn Pohl. 

[SA Chris]

Is it time top set up a stickied Megoswad? He doesn't have the same profile as Ondra (yet) so don't always hear what he's been up to.

[slackline]

This thread suffices, whether its stuck to the top of the sub-forum or not.

[rosmat]

What a piss-poor write-up by Björn Pohl. 

+1 Agreed - couldn't have put it better myself.

Thanks boss.

[Muenchener]

This thread suffices, whether its stuck to the top of the sub-forum or not.

The front page of frankenjura.com pretty much suffices at the moment, until he gets it into his head to go off and tcik another hundred 8a-and-upwards routes in a month somewhere else

[Nibile]

Oh come on guys, are you all on crack?
He went down from 9a onsight to 9a second go to 9a in a day!
In two weeks he'll be projecting the warm up circuit on my board.
 

[Nibile]

P.s. obviously there is no such thing as a warm up circuit on my board.

On a side note, I think that it must be amazing to witness such climbers doing their thing.

[Muenchener]

He went down from Catalan 9a onsight to 9a second go to Frankenjura 9a in a day!

sounds about right 

[Nibile]

  nasty!

[Doylo]

At this rate of decline he'll be redpointing 8a in 6 months...

[Fiend]

P.s. obviously there is no such thing as a warm up circuit on my board.

LOL, nice one, keeping it 

[krymson]

do we need a  dedicated MegoWad thread?

I hadn't realised he'd on sighted Action Directe.........
