It was his hardest and his longest project to date: it took Alex Megos 11 days to ascend Lucid Dreaming (8C/V15) on the Grandpa Peabody boulder at Buttermilks in California.

He had tried the problem in November 2014, but had to get back home to Germany after three unsuccessful days. First thing he did on his return? Book a new flight ticket to the US to finish his project. Filmmaker Ken Etzel captured Alex’ intense days of fighting sharp granite and drying his way up with his shirt.

It took 20 minutes to climb, and 11 days to figure out how to get back down.

@Randy Zain Haha yes not suspicious at all lmfao. These bots are so shitty..

@andrewskerratt8353 Год назад

For everyone curious how he got down. There’s 2 options for this boulder, you can either down climb the back side which is relatively easy I believe, or some have a rope tied onto the bolts at the top, and they get down with that. I don’t see a rope in this video so I assumed he downclimbed on the backside 👍

There's no way to 'easy' climb v7 after one year.

@DoublexSushi 6 лет назад

WHAT THE HECK IS V7

@ClusterOfBlueRabbits 6 лет назад

William LePoint it's slang for a kind of eggnog, climbers use beverage names as grades. V7 is what an average fit person could climb with a good year of practice

@THExJMC 6 лет назад

Far easier to climb when youre younger as you are more flexible, lighter and have probably exercised your body in a way that is good for climbing. As someone who started in my 20s i had already lost much of my flexibility and have lots of extra muscle that is not necessarily helpful for rock climbing

@Chris-ri4qs 6 лет назад

Yeah one of my buddies climbed V11 with 14. He never trained to become a pro, though, as climbing was only fun for him. The earlier you start, the better of course. I started way later and it took me 1,5 years of three times climbing a week to get to V6 (though I just climbed and did no additional exercise). V6 is quite hard. Most climbers never get to that level.
