Momentum, the first of a 4-part series, The Alex Megos Formula, takes a closer look into what powers the epic ascents of accomplished German climber, Alex Megos.

First dominating the competitive circuit as a teenager, and now tackling the most challenging routes and boulder problems across the globe, this 23 year-old crusher doesn’t show signs of slowing down anytime soon. Not only has Alex sent over 40 routes graded 5.14d (9a) or higher, but he’s also likely the first climber to have ever flashed a route at that grade.

This series takes a look at his training, discipline, and other factors that create the “Alex Megos Formula” for sending.
