Alex Megos at Mišja Peč in Slovenia attempting to flash the historic 8c+ 'Za Staro Kolo in Majhnega Psa', first ascended in 1992 by Tadej Slabe.

A fortnight ago Alex Megos made short work of Za Staro Kolo in Majhnega Psa, the power endurance test at Mišja Peč in Slovenia first ascended by Tadej Slabe in 1992. This is no ordinary 8c+: back then it was considered, along with Wolfgang Güllich's Action Directe and Ben Moon's Hubble, one of the hardest climbs in the world. Megos, who wasn't even born when Slabe successfully clipped the anchor, tried to flash the historic line.
His ascent is noteworthy, not necessarily because he redpointed the route so quickly, but primarily because he did so on his 8th consecutive day of climbing and on what was his only rest day during a German team training trip to Slovenia...
