Old school School Room problems I believe. Pinky Perky was mentioned in One Summer I think as the hardest problem in the world. (That last bit could be complete fiction on my part)

Alex has flashed The Path, a 5.14a at Lake Louise or 8b+.  :o From his Crackbook page:

"BÄÄÄM!!! 2 days after doing the FA of "Fightclub" I managed to FLASH the @sonnietrotter classic trad route "The Path" 5.14R at Lake Louise! 40m of fiddling in tiny gear and with a bunch of bouldery sections! Going group up not having at all much experience with placing gear was an interesting and new experience for me!"

I guess that might be an E10 flash, at least an E9 although I'm no tradster  :smirk: :smirk:

Is the the route that Tim Emmett has been repeatedly posting about?

Yes that's right. Haha, you got me there! I have been known to wobble up the odd HVS... ;)

Eric Karlsson's YouTube channel is a lot of fun for lovers of plastic.
Here Eric and his mates meet up with Alex M.
Highball top out fun, as usual AM makes it look easy as he climbs higher.

Word on the street is that Megos did Ondra's Los Revolucionarios, 9a on Kalymnos second go some times last week. Apparently he then warmed down with a handful of stuff in the 8b-8c range, but that's old hat.

source: friend who was at the crag with him.

So he did. Hard life when 9a, 8c and 8b in a day is old news.

I was at the crag with him that day too. He had done Los Revolucionarios 2nd go before. He was just repeating it for fun. I have to say I was pretty much overawed with how easily he walked up it as a repeat. He'd put the clips in the day before. On the day he just did it. I didn't particularly notice him warming up even. He made a small noise like he was trying a bit once. People stopped watching him as he made it look so trivial. Also crushed the 8c+ next to it (Gora Gora Gutarak I think) in similarly casual fashion the next day. Just looked so easy for him, way way below his limit.

I didn't see but he also did an 8a in his flipflops as a random challenge!

Alex Megos just did the first ascent of “Supercrackinette”, an old project in St. Léger, at 9a+.

He's done the Trainspotting project at Gothenburg, 8B+ apparently, seems pretty mild for something well known and amazing looking.
