Alexander Megos frees Bibliographie at Céüse, the world’s second 9c
Alexander Megos has left an indelible mark at the mecca of sport climbing, Ceüse in France, with his first ascent of the inordinately difficult Bibliographie for which the German has put forward the grade 9c. Bolted by Ethan Pringle, the route lies immediately to the right of famous Biographie, the world’s benchmark 9a+ freed by Chris Sharma in 2001 and repeated by Megos, somewhat incredibly, on his third attempt and in a single day in 2014.
Bibliographie now stands as only the second 9c in the world. The world’s first, Silence at Flatanger in Norway, was established by Adam Ondra in 2017 and still awaits a repeat and confirmation, while currently there are only four 9b+: Change put up by Adam Ondra in 2012, La Dura Dura established by Adam Ondra in 2013, Vasil Vasil freed by Adam Ondra once again in 2013, and Perfecto Mundo first ascended by Alexander Megos in 2018.

Alex Megos
Alex was born in Erlangen, Germany, in 1993. He began climbing at the age of 6 in the Frankenjura, where he sent his first 8a in 2007, with only 14 years. In 2009, just 3 years after joining his local Bavarian club ‘Landesstützpunkt Franken’, he won the overall of the European Youth Championships for the first time and he managed to repeat that the following year as well. His first 8c came in 2009 with ‘Drive by Shooting’ in the Frankenjura, quickly followed by his first 8c+ that same year, and his first 9a ‘San Ku Kai’ in the French climbing area of Entraygues in 2011 in only 3 attempts. At this point he already had a strong relationship with his two coaches Patrick Matros and Dicki Korb with whom he is training since he was 13 years old.
After finishing school Alex decided to dedicate a whole year to travelling around the globe and visiting different climbing areas. His first trip brought him to the USA, where he redpointed routes such as ‘The Fly’ — 5.14d (9a), and flashed ‘Pure Imagination’ — 5.14c (8c+). Moving on to Siurana in Spain, he made the first ever ons
