In this short video, watch Alex Honnold solo splitter basalt columns and Alex Megos send Chile’s first 5.14d.
Megos sent the hard route during a 10-day trip to Chile this winter where he also won The North Face Maaster de Boulder comp in Santiago.
“Woooop!!! What a cool rock trip here in Chile to Valle de los Cóndores the past two days!” Megso said on Facebook. “After two days of work I managed to do the first ascent of Pasito a Pasito … Super excited!
Megos named the 5.14d Pasito a Pastio, which means “little step by little step.” He had been battling a finger injury for most of the season.
“Finally after four months off because of my finger injury I felt like I was climbing again for the first time without constantly thinking about my finger.” he posted. “It’s still not great yet but getting there!”
