Alex Megos at Cresciano sends Dreamtime, Story of Two Worlds, The Dagger

One could argue that for Alexander Megos - still fresh from his 9c first ascent Bibliographie at Céüse this summer - repeating some of Switzerland’s most famous boulder problems established 15 or 20 years ago is nothing more than a mere formality. While this may be true, they’re still no walkover. During a recent visit to Canton Ticino the German climber, together with teammate Yannick Flohe, wasted little time ticking Fred Nicole's über classic Dreamtime (2000) followed by Dave Graham's The Story of Two Worlds (2005) on the other side of the boulder. Megos also sent The Dagger 8B+, La Pelle Direct 8A+, La Nave Va 7C+. A short, successful diplomatic visit complicated only slightly by poor conditions.
