In many ways German phenom Alex Megos seems like a robot sent from another planet to climb all our hardest routes and boulder problems without making much of a fuss about it, but this interview with Vertical Life gives at least one hint that he might be human:

You have already achieved an incredible amount but what is the facet of your climbing that you think you most need to work on?

Crack climbing. I was in Indian Creek last year on my road trip with my friend Peter Würth and I barely could climb a 5.

12- crack. In every other area that’s my warming up grade.

Based on the one time I saw him climbing even 5.12- is too easy for his sport climbing warm up.

Nice interview with Alex Megos by Nick Fletcher:

Watching Alex climb is like watching an elite athlete running or swimming (for example). There’s no discernible effort – yet you know how hard he’s trying and in some cases you know first hand how hard the moves are from your own attempts, Alex just pieces the moves together with a calmness and fluidity that only comes from years of climbing and training at the highest level.

It’s also worth noting that in addition to doing the FA of Australia’s hardest sport route, Megos established a new link-up in the Hollow Mountain Cave called Wheelchair that he feels is harder than the well-known Wheel Of Life. Vertical Life has all the details on that, although at this point I feel like I could use some sort of interactive map to figure out all the possible variations in this massive cave!
