Here’s the fourth and final video in the Red Bull series about Alex Megos. This episode provides the most intimate look at Alex, his training and, most important, the influence of his coaches and family. In my opinion it’s the best of the four–a must watch!

In search of Alex Megos’ formula for success, the final chapter in the 4-part series heads back to the Frankenjura, Alex’s home in Germany. In October 2015, he set a milestone by establishing the area’s hardest route to date, “Supernova” (9a+/9b). The Formula-Series finalizes the search in interviews with Alex’ Family and Coaches, leading to the conclusion that Alex is more than the sum of his characteristics.
