Alex Megos never met a route he couldn’t climb in short order…that was until he encountered Bibliographie, an undone sport line at the French super-crag, Céüse. In 2017, Megos first tried the route that would become his three-year project. On the path to the send he encountered doubts and injuries and qualified for the Olympics. It wasn’t until COVID turned the world upside down that he was able to return to Céüse and close the books on one of the hardest routes ever climbed.

On the 25th July, 2020, Laura Rogora became the 2nd women in the world to climb the grade of 9b/5.15b. The 19 year-old Italian who will be climbing at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and has been in the form of her life in 2020, managed the historical feat after working the route for 6 days. Belayed by her father, and documented by Italian filmmaker Marco Iacono, the route is a combination of a boulder problem then a sport route, climbing out of the cave in Rodellar Spain as a boulder, but finishing on rope. This film documents the process and the climb that took Laura into the history books...Inspired?

Putting a lot of effort into one boulder problem makes you doubtful from time to time. In between tries, there is a lot of room for contemplation. There is always more micro beta, always something to work on - maybe you should do something differently?
I started working the moves in 2016. After a lot of dedication over the last years, everything fell into place last Sunday. Perseverance was key for this one ;)

Das GriGri+ von Petzl ist die dritte Weiterentwicklung des klassischen GriGri. Es darf ohne Zweifel als Benchmark am Sicherungsgerätemarkt angesehen werden. Zusätzlich zu den herkömmlichen Funktionen verfügt das GriGri+ über eine Anti-Panik-Funktion und über zwei Bedienmechanismen. Diese erlauben, zwischen Toprope und Vorstieg umzuschalten. Dabei wird das Ansprechverhalten des Klemmnockens beeinflusst, was ein schnelleres Ansprechen der Blockierfunktion im Toprope-Modus bewirkt.
