It's fitting that one of, if not the, first bullet time shots in climbing is of one of the most iconic moves in the world: the starting dyno on Action Directe in Germany's Frankenjura. The climber captured with 75 cameras used to generate this matrix-style effect is of course Alex Megos, the man who knows this route better than anyone else and who repeated Wolfgang Güllich's 1991 masterpiece in just 2 hours back in 2014. Megos dynoed 7 times to achieve this result, while the person behind the lenses that encircled the route is Lars Scharl. His shot, like the climb itself, is groundbreaking.
