Alex Megos didn't start this climb expecting a wild sideways dyno at the crux, but after Tommy Caldwell snapped off the only usable holds on this sequence, that is exactly what he found. With Hazel Findlay having lead the pitch just below the roof, Alex is eager to get on the sharp end and find out if he can make it past the now outlandish crux. After coming painfully close on his first try, Alex knows that it is possible for him, but his impatience is almost his undoing as he tries again and again in quick succession. Hazel's suggestions of a longer rest fall on deaf ears as the German wunderkind can focus on nothing but his personal-battle with the seemingly stopper move.

[@blakes8901]

they are all so awkward its hilarious

[@MPHshoots]

That’s what I love about almost every climber, we are all socially awkward. Kinda brings us all together in a good way 🤣

[@TennisEuphoria]

"kinda dirty, slipping off everything" that's what I say on my 5.10b project 🤣🤣

[@cozyclimbs9249]

We need more of this ahahah

[@twstf8905]

Hazel is awesome. 👍

[@KenAdams110]

I created lots of water from my hands while watching

5:56 Epic gang of BEASTS !

[@bowlcut880]

This narrator should try not to pronounce "Hazel Findlay" like "Adolf Hitler" lmaoooo

[@buzzshahrin5097]

Can't wait for next episode

[@judaspriestrock]

3:55 I think what Hazel is actually trying to say, is that she doesn't want Alex to come to early.

[@EGbean2]

Is one of them missing half a finger?

[@AidanXavier1]

@@EGbean2 Tommy Caldwell lost part of his finger. He also got kidnapped and threw his kidnappers off of a cliff. I'm not making this up

[@EGbean2]

@@AidanXavier1 He was kidnapped by fellow climbers right? Because he wasn't able to send the route

[@apostatepaul]

Incredible!

[@AidanXavier1]

Tommy fell because he was short roped. Probably would have sent it if not for that.

[@psyconickiller]

awesome video. does someone know the name of the track at 4:20?

[@T0BBi94]

Blaze !

[@benoitcerrina]

Where is this cliff?

[@SromBlessed]

Chamonix, France me thinks

[@SkullLikeASecret]

smells to much like the foul odor of Reality TV.

[@BruceRoca]

Wait.... isn't it " 'cends "? As in "ascend"?

[@kboulema]

BruceRoca Nope. Sends.

[@nowheels340]

Send is just finish without falling, it doesn't have too much to do with ascending.

[@StoutProper]

SmokedFalafels if you never fall, you only ascend

[@rud69420]

@@nowheels340 I'm fairly sure "send" comes from the shortening of "ascent". Spelling has changed but I'm fairly sure that's the origin.

[@feastmode7931]

[@EpicUltraKingSmizzy]

Can someone help me understand why alex is the first person to freeclimb it when tommy when before him? why does tommy not count?

[@CtHtThomas]

+EpicUltraKingSmizzy Tommy didn't send all the pitches I think

[@EpicUltraKingSmizzy]

Clay Thomas i just like watching, never been climbing other than a few gyms, what's a pitch?

[@CtHtThomas]

A pitch is a section of a big climb. Google for the real definition

[@bartfay]

From what I saw, Tommy sent the roof moves from hanging off a bolt above the belay. So he did not red point the pitch. To be fair, he did all the work of dealing with breaking holds and figured out the sequence. If the parties had climbed in the reverse order Tommy would likely have the FFA.

[@davidrosenberg702]

It looked like Alex did exactly the same thing -- dyno'd, fell, dyno'd again and stuck it, all while clipped to the first bolt after the belay station. Perhaps Tommy and his partner failed to top out?

[@jcb0trashmail]

4:45 nice belay...

[@jamesbtrials]

jcb0trashmail Nothing wrong with that. Feeding slack with a gri-gri and managing the rope well so Alex can do his thing. She probably can't see him because he's above the overhang.

[@amorfo9127]

[@profd65]

It wouldn't be a KZbin climbing video without some gym climber bitching about the belaying.

[@jorgecasabella8506]

como apreta el megos

[@Wolfdings]

1:27 and thats why you actually should never, ever keep your rope between your teeth. Lucky him releasing the rope short before the drop. Still - everyone does it. Me too..

[@lucaa4480]

you can open your mouth, and how you pull the rope if the quickdraw is not near your chest?

[@tobiasbrunner4720]

Fuckin' annoying censorship: downvote

[@RobinsonRDavid]

I fucking hate this reality tv style of climbing commentary and narrative. Cannot understand half of what the narrator is saying.

[@scottwollett3782]

Lame

[@frankboase4362]

2 men, 2 women is you tube getting p.c. these days, Where's the black/wheel chair/disadvantaged, climbers?
