Sleeping Lion | Alex Megos 

Thanking the camera man first after sending 9b+ is truly next level

No epic over dramatic 1 year wait for a climbing video! Wow what a standard to be setting, even more impressive than the climb!

Wow, what a perfection!!! The route itself, Alex climbing, camera work... Everything!! Never enjoyed a climbing video as this one!! :)))

Loved this style. Only feedback I would give is to give the entirety of the redpoint. Us climbers want to see it from the dirt, not edited, to the chains. For example in the jug / rail after the top crux, when Alex is shaking out with the little kneebar he’s far above and right of the last clipped bolt. Not a great rest position and it would have been cool to see the sequence from there including the clip and traverse, rather than cut it out. Same for the opening section under the full no hands ledge. Feedback only meant to be constructive. Loved it, so thank you 🙏

The scream after falling near the end of the route could be felt through the scream, can't imagine being right there. What a great job Alex, you are insane! Great video and climb.

This is climbing video perfection. The climber, the route, and the landscape. Beautiful route and epic send 💯 congratulations!

Beautiful. Alex climbing is so great to watch. And Alex is such a nice guy. I now feel an irresistible need to go climbing, ... on my trivial routes .🤣

Watching Alex climb is the only climber that makes me want to climb. On a negative, the people below shouting make me want to sit down. Just chill and let him climb.

Geil, geil, geil!!!! Da kann man echt stolz sein, dass so jemand wie du unsere deutsche Kletterszene vertrittst. Fantastisch gefilmt... und in diesem Schrei lag all das Herzblut für diesen sagenhaften Sport!❤

I will try shaving my climbing shoes on my next 6b project, seems to work 🤓

The lion sleeps no longer! 😅 Bravo, Alex!🎉

That was the most epic climbing video i have ever seen. It brought tears to my eyes for some reason. The passion, the scream when you fell, the send, then thanking the filmer. Bro you are so humble, and strong as heck!! Very inspiring!

He did every single move static 😮. ¡You are so fukin strong Alex!

Huge respect, Man, what an awesome route. You are one of the best out there, world's elite, no doubt about it. I'm happy for you. :)

Such flow! So impressive. Footwork so dialed. Beautifully shot and edited as well. Way to go, Alex 💪💪

Would love to see a video explaining the reasoning and technique behind trimming the shoe rubber. Im sure there are many other little tricks like this that average climbers (such as myself) are not aware of. Awesome climbing as always!

A legend at work!

Great video and awesome climbing. Well done mate! All the best for your next project, Alex!

Congratulations to Marco and Andre for the amazing prod and obviously to Alex for the crazy and so satisfying ascent!!

I'm very happy for your send Alex, this video shows how much you put on it, how much you want it. Also congratulations to the camera guys, they did something amazing and real in such a short time. But more than anything huge congratulations to Chris Sharma for finding, imagining and bolting that line on one of the most iconic walls of one of the most iconic crags in the world. So happy to see that the Lion is awake and the cubs are crushing and hungry. Alex, when will you come to Mallorca and try some DWS? All the best for you.

Bravo, herzlichen Glückwunsch zum send von diesem Brecher! Die Aufnahmen, der Schnitt und last but not least die Perfektion deines Kletterns… einfach Wow. Vielen Dank für das Video und die schwitzigen Hände vom zusehen :)

Wahnsinn, Glückwunsch! Auch brutal wie die Videoqualität sich bei deinem Kanal in letzter Zeit gesteigert hat

Fantastic climb; the Ondra-esque yelling is a highlight

Fantastic production!

Great video, very immersive, I like the style.

Brilliant. All I need! footage so crisp and great edit. Looking so strong Megos. What a history you have with that wall! Would love to know what you consider the hardest 9b you have sent. Thanks Alex and Marco

The cheers from Chris were chefs kiss

favorite climber!

Good job, Alex! 💪🏼

GREAT WORK! Go Alex go!

Scream sinced with the bass drop made me smile, wholesome editing! And Alex is here as a bonus =D

Your climbing is beautiful. A visual pleasure. Love to see you including heels and knees more often recently, they look great in you, in my humble opinion. Thanks for the videos and agree with another comment... would be great to learn stuff about gear like trimming shoes, equipment, tricks... Cheers and congratulations!!!

What a masterclass. This should be on every teaching on how to climb efficiently.

insane climbing without even real resting within the route! absolutely outperforming

Gratz on taming this beast, Alex :) Really good production and camera work on this one!

Great job and amazing video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Starkes Video🙏🏻 sehr fein zum Anschauen

Siurana is the most beautiful climbing area I’ve ever been to. The surrounding landscape and the enticing walls, and the long routes 🤩 If I just was a better climber. It’s just not that much below 7a if you’re staying more than a week.

Impressive climbing and great video!🚀

so so so so geiles video!!!

It's such an incredible line. Congrats dude

MA-SCHINE! Glückwunsch :) Sieht nach ner richtig edlen Route aus, nice Moves.

So cool guys, very well done 👏🏻 👏🏻

Bro I just had a competitions, and looked at my phone. I saw you had a new video, I immediately watched it. Sehr gut gemacht. Ich liebe es.🤟

Great effort, amazing work

perfect climbing, congratulations !

Who made the cut at 10:56?! I felt like that was the most intense part of the climb, we didn't get to see how Alex clipped in that kneebar!

Hell yeah Alex…..congrats dude🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Amazing, Alex..

Wow, great stuff, Alex

Amazing Alex!

Congratulations on such an amazing send. I love the quality and substance of the video, and appreciate having free content like this to watch to get us psyched to try hard! I'm curious how much you down size your climbing shoes, and also why were you cutting rubber off your shoe with a razor blade?

Fantastisch.🔥 Danke für deine / eure einmaligen und sehr unterhaltsamen Videos💯

amazing. super video with a nice drama song and nice setting and footage. congrats man

that scream at 6:37 sent shivers down my spine, the echo goddamn

Oh, Alex also can scream!! Not like i do, but amazing screams, congrats😅super cool video. And sharma style route amazing

Amazing climb and video

it's crazy to see the difference in his climbing style and abilities between this and his documentary with epicTV massive progress a lot more methodical and a lot more technique but still a powerhouse.

Dude let's freaking go brother

Could you make an "Enjoy Sleeping Lion" with cool sections of the climb in a Kilter replica, please? I loved trying "Enjoy Bibliographie" and my ultimate Kilter goal is "The Real Bibliographie". Thanks for the video and inspiration!

breathtaking

Awesome vid Alex!

You are the best! 💪

Fascinating to hear people cheering on so loud and consistent. I was a pro athlete in a sport that is way less complex mentally than climbing. There is no way this constant "allez" screaming would help me at all. In fact, it would take the crucial chunk of my concentration to perform anywhere near my limits. Half the route Alex' only goal is to stay calm and these people scream at him like they have to stop the car to pee right now. In my opinion these people increase the challenge and not helping it.
