Pressure ON - competing against Germanys best

[@Emil_Ortiz]

Megos - "I'm shit on crimps." I have now heard it all.

[@mukundgite8695]

Alex's flexibility is just ridiculous

[@lawrencesounddesign1862]

Imagine showing up for a boulder league and Alex Megos walks in with a sign up sheet to enter. Looks like some great routesetting and good times.

[@heraclitus4884]

Nvm Jan and Yannick

[@homemsapo]

Would enjoy participating, but Would be ashamed to make finals😂

[@Knut-Leif]

I do think he's right about how humans probably can create better and more creative boulders than nature can, but there is something about how natural boulders will be there in 50 years, every time you ascend something, its a little piece of permanent history.

[@randomhoe40]

it was irony love. :D

[@benotyourboss]

But you did see the irony disclaimer?

[@epincion]

Fantastic comp Alex, congrats on the win. I really liked the way you filmed it, it was never boring

[@annmut5038]

haha i imagined Alex doing all the stuff he does in the video while also filming at the same time

[@alexandermegosAM]

Thankfully Max accompanied me to film 😅🙏🏼

[@xtransmission3706]

Good to see Jan is still a powerhouse.

[@noone-ld7pt]

This is awesome, but I personally would prefer if you don't cut between the moves. It was more disorienting than cool and made it seem like the boulder was only done in moves and not continously. If the concern was that they were to slow then I'd much rather see a full send sped up than only seing cuts of the individual moves. But this is just my opinion of course, othes might disagree!

[@alexandermegosAM]

Thank you for your criticism, that was actually a point we thought about for a long time, as we fear that many viewers will find sequences that are too long boring.

[@bartz4439]

Imo these cuts were great. It's only worth keeping different solution of section if any climber performs

[@jakob2611]

I prefer the cuts aswell, atleast in this instance, where you can rewatch the competition if you want

[@jakobbauz]

This is one of those issues where you'll never satisfy everyone, since it is about individual preference. I liked the cuts in this video; but I've seen others where I found them very annoying...

[@colemantrebor6574]

Slab climbing? No! Coordination moves? Alright 1 jump. Power boulders? Yes!!! Lol 3 powerful boulders in the final, but still really enjoyable to watch.

[@alexandermegosAM]

Because power boulders can be very fun to watch! 😍

[@colemantrebor6574]

@@alexandermegosAM diversity in style is cool but these 3 boulders were all very different making it a lot more interesting, especially the 2nd boulder was really unique

[@biltongandboba]

Standard comp rules for the most part but that bit with more points if less people do a boulder is an interesting variant which I really like the idea of, hadn't heard it before but it makes sense.

[@3delweiss]

Always hyped when Alex posts!

[@TheXeeman]

11:45 :O classic megos move.. hot

[@driesvanoosten4417]

Insane beta on M2 Alex. Awesome!

[@roywebb-pullman1496]

Great video, great comp, and great attitudes from everyone. Honestly the best KZbin video I've watched in a while!

[@MichaelSearle-qo5gd]

Suuuch a sick comp. Nice one Alex. And on the final debate about plastic vs natural climbing. The creativity climbing outdoors is to find the best way to climb insane lines, indoor climbs imitate what we find when being creative and moving through outdoor climbs, not the other way round haha! But fair enough to Yannick, everyone has their opinion even if its wrong 😜

[@Xeratas]

Was amazing to see you in person! Thanks for the video, such a cool memory for me.

[@BlaBla-tc6np]

Great video, thank you for sharing those insights, please keep it up. All the best !

[@Romaing7]

Niceee video and in fact it was really interesting to watch the differences between two world class professional athletes and some really amateur climber

[@ornithoptermum]

i like it when they show normal people struggling on the boulders in the background like god wanted it

[@HourRomanticist]

I enjoyed the cuts because they were on unimportant boulders and tedious retries that made no progress. Its not like you guys cut up the flash try or anything

[@MyPianoWish]

One guy with a camera standing on the ground filming > IFSC edits with 20 cameras shaking all over the place

[@maryb2775]

man my hands were SWEATIN watching all these boulders. great climbing though, watching you climb always makes me more pysched to train and get strong

[@kevincassman6214]

The set was sick in this comp

Jan Hojer! Let's Go!

thanks for the photo I could take there with you😇

Saw you at blockhelden gym Bubenreuth today

Crazy how strong Alex and Yannick are, but also how much faster they move through hard sequences and figure out beta

new route name: "Shit For Crimps" 😄 nice to know even the pro's use knee's...did knee bars make that like a thing again? 🤔 awesome vid!

[@AlexeiDrummond]

Congrats! Flexibility for the win :)

[@MatthewHill-vc6kn]

Congratulations "Alexander Megos !", as though there was any questions as to how things would inevitably go, as exciting to watch, as the unfinished sculptures in marble at the academia, by that guy,what was his name again.?Oh yeah Megosangelo!(%^#)

[@george1303]

great video!

[@zBeez]

Amazing comp and ridiculous climbing aside. Am the only one who seems to think that Alex is wearing a prototype or custom tenaya shoe? It looks like a mastia but without the M design and maybe a bigger toe patch and different colored tabs. Maybe I'm trying to find details that dont exist but if its an updated Mastia in the works count me in I love this model to death

[@LemonLimeFlavoured]

those are some hectic moves

[@ElGuapoDeSantoPoco]

Call me old skool but how awesome are these comps without the parkour nonsense and just hard-core boulders

[@traumtaenzer2212]

Mal so ne generelle Frage: Wie viele gelbe T-Shirts hat Alex eigentlich?😂 Oder ist es etwa immer das selbe?😂

[@itsmyboardwhotalk]

von allen sportarten, die ich schaue/praktiziere, muss ich sagen, dass boulder finals mit meine Lieblingsevents geworden sind, macht einfach richtig viel Spaß zuzuschauen. Umso problematischer finde ich es, dass TK die BL sponsert. hatte letztes Jahr Ellbogen ausgekugelt und gebrochen, anfangs war ich noch privat versichert und hatte Physio 3-4mal die Woche, aufgrund eines Arbeitswechsels musste ich dann zur TK und durfte nur noch zwei mal pro Woche zur Physio. Da stößt es leider bitter auf zu sehen wofür die ihr Geld ausgeben, oder vlt ists au sinnvoll und ich sollte meine eigenen Sportbemühungen sein lassen und lieber den Pros zuschauen.

[@FreddyFruchtman]

I would like to see more of those videos, but with less cuts please. It's hard to watch

[@RimshotKiller]

I love how half of the comment section - even though they even wrote Warning: Irony incoming - is still debating this. Such an idiotic and useless discussion...

[@Noneymar1]

The problem about some ppl in the German pro scene for me is that they tend to act like a**holes as a „joke“ and do controversial statements like the debated one as a joke all of the time. Which is fine - kinda. But some of them are doing it so often that it leaves a rather weird(?) impression.. to a point where some of their „jokes“ and ironic arrogance blend in with their real personality, starting to become true rather than a joke. Once you have that feeling, some start to question all of their „jokes“ although the majority of them are quite obviously real jokes. But I kinda get it tbh.

[@staarren8119]

the cuts between moves are not it

[@bludzeesimon962]

I disagree

[@Siloda605]

first!

[@jakobbauz]

I think route setting outdoors should only be done by people who can prove that they're definitely too stupid to find a rock that suits them as it is. The respective certificate (of stupidity) should then be an obligatory part of one's CV for life. 😉

[@HourRomanticist]

What does this have to do with the video?

[@colemantrebor6574]

@@HourRomanticist watch the last 30 seconds or so

[@НиколайТобиас]

Are u sure that ability to find rocks is about your intellect?..

[@jakobbauz]

@@НиколайТобиас Well, route setting outdoors as mentioned in the video means to change the rock; so you already have to have found some to do it. The question is whether you find a rock (within all of the rock) that suits you. And since there's really all difficulties wherever you find rock outdoors... what else would it be about but your intelligence?
