Before
One of the eight ‘last great problem’ projects listed in the Derwent Grit guide. [1]
[Jerry Moffatt](/climber/131/jerry-moffatt) did all the moves, [Johnny Dawes](/climber/561/johnny-dawes) top roped it in a oner, [Ron Fawcett](/climber/532/ron-fawcett) was hovering, but it was [Andy Pollitt](/climber/488/andy-pollitt) who tied into the sharp end, jumped through the crux and wobbled through to the top – narrowly avoiding a disastrous fall when he slipped on the final sloping ledges.
> The route was first climbed on the 2nd of March 1988 by [Andy Pollitt](/climber/488/andy-pollitt) and graded E9. The pre-clipped 'hand-held' peg used on the first ascent was later discovered to have actually been placed with a 'hand-held' hammer. [2]
The grade of a given ascent depends on the particular gear placements used. The first ascent and early repeats used a peg in a slot high on the left. Later repeats used a cam in a good slot at half height, that requires a traverse to access. Some people have combined the cam and the pegs, some people have used neither!

Before
<p>Charles Albert is one of the worlds best and most particular boulderers. Charles' ability is hard to compare to others due to how he chooses to climb: typically without the use of climbing shoes or kneepads. In this style Charles is undoubtedly a master with no one repeating any of his boulders in the the same style as he climbed them.</p>
<p>Charles is notable for his hard first ascents, particularly in <a href="/list/31/fontainebleau" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fontainebleau</a>: <a href="/climb/1547/la-révolutionnaire-assis" rel="noopener noreferrer">La Révolutionnaire Assis</a> 8C+/V16, <a href="/climb/1549/hypothèse-assis" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hypothèse Assis</a> (8C+), <a href="/climb/1501/bélial" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bélial</a> (8C) and <a href="/climb/7168/freerider" rel="noopener noreferrer">Freerider</a> (8C). In 2018 Charles did the first ascent of <a href="/climb/827/no-kpote-only" rel="noopener noreferrer">No Kpote Only</a> in which he proposed the grade of 9A/V17, however this was downgraded by both <a href="/climber/669/ryohei-kameyama" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ryohei Kameyama</a> and <a href="/climber/674/nico-pelorson" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nico Pelorson</a>.</p>
<p>In 2023 Charles did the first ascent of <a href="/climb/2845/l’ombre-du-voyageur" rel="noopener noreferrer">L’Ombre du Voyageur</a> for which he proposed 9A/V17 after spending 60 sessions to complete the problem. <a href="/climber/1461/pietro-vidi" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pietro Vidi</a> repeated the boulder in 2025 using wildly different beta and gear to Charles, suggesting 8B+.</p>
<p>In March 2026 Charles sent his 8 year project <a href="/climb/2942/charlatan" rel="noopener noreferrer">Charlatan</a>. Charles did not suggest a grade at the time of the ascent but has previously suggested it as 9A.</p>
<p><a href="/climber/498/lucien-martinez" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lucien Martinez</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>In Font, many times I saw Charles Albert do things so out of this world I would have called them impossible without having been a witness. Like flash FAs or in a handful of runs of 8A on a move that no one else can get anywhere near, or 7B slabs in trainers by simply annihilating miserable grains of sand with his nails… [1]</p>

Before
<p>Charles Albert is one of the worlds best and most particular boulderers. Charles' ability is hard to compare to others due to how he chooses to climb: typically without the use of climbing shoes or kneepads. In this style Charles is undoubtedly a master with no one repeating any of his boulders in the the same style as he climbed them.</p>
<p>Charles is notable for his hard first ascents, particularly in <a href="/list/31/fontainebleau" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fontainebleau</a>: <a href="/climb/1547/la-révolutionnaire-assis" rel="noopener noreferrer">La Révolutionnaire Assis</a> 8C+/V16, <a href="/climb/1549/hypothèse-assis" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hypothèse Assis</a> (8C+), <a href="/climb/1501/bélial" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bélial</a> (8C) and <a href="/climb/7168/freerider" rel="noopener noreferrer">Freerider</a> (8C). In 2018 Charles did the first ascent of <a href="/climb/827/no-kpote-only" rel="noopener noreferrer">No Kpote Only</a> in which he proposed the grade of 9A/V17, however this was downgraded by both <a href="/climber/669/ryohei-kameyama" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ryohei Kameyama</a> and <a href="/climber/674/nico-pelorson" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nico Pelorson</a>.</p>
<p>In 2023 Charles did the first ascent of <a href="/climb/2845/l’ombre-du-voyageur" rel="noopener noreferrer">L’Ombre du Voyageur</a> for which he proposed 9A/V17 after spending 60 sessions to complete the problem. <a href="/climber/1461/pietro-vidi" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pietro Vidi</a> repeated the boulder in 2025 using wildly different beta and gear to Charles, suggesting 8B+.</p>
<p>In March 2026 Charles sent his 8 year project: <a href="/climb/2942/charlatan" rel="noopener noreferrer">Charlatan</a>. Charles has not yet suggested an official grade for the boulder but has hinted at it being 9A or harder.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>In Font, many times I saw Charles Albert do things so out of this world I would have called them impossible without having been a witness. Like flash FAs or in a handful of runs of 8A on a move that no one else can get anywhere near, or 7B slabs in trainers by simply annihilating miserable grains of sand with his nails… [1]</p>

Charles' ability is hard to compare to others due to how he chooses to climb: typically without the use of climbing shoes or kneepads. In this style Charles is undoubtedly a master with no one repeating any of his boulders in the the same style as he climbed them.
Charles is notable for his hard first ascents, particularly in [Fontainebleau](/list/31/fontainebleau): [La Révolutionnaire Assis](/climb/1547/la-révolutionnaire-assis) 8C+/V16, [Hypothèse Assis](/climb/1549/hypothèse-assis) (8C+), [Bélial](/climb/1501/bélial) (8C) and [Freerider](/climb/7168/freerider) (8C). In 2018 Charles did the first ascent of [No Kpote Only](/climb/827/no-kpote-only) in which he proposed the grade of 9A/V17, however this was downgraded by both [Ryohei Kameyama](/climber/669/ryohei-kameyama) and [Nico Pelorson](/climber/674/nico-pelorson).
In 2023 Charles did the first ascent of [L’Ombre du Voyageur](/climb/2845/l’ombre-du-voyageur) for which he proposed 9A/V17 after spending 60 sessions to complete the problem. [Pietro Vidi](/climber/1461/pietro-vidi) repeated the boulder in 2025 using wildly different beta and gear to Charles, suggesting 8B+.
In March 2026 Charles sent his 8 year project: [Charlatan](/climb/2942/charlatan). Charles has not yet suggested an official grade for the boulder but has hinted at it being 9A or harder.
[Lucien Martinez](/climber/498/lucien-martinez):
> In Font, many times I saw Charles Albert do things so out of this world I would have called them impossible without having been a witness. Like flash FAs or in a handful of runs of 8A on a move that no one else can get anywhere near, or 7B slabs in trainers by simply annihilating miserable grains of sand with his nails… [1]

Before
Alex Megos grew is a German sport climber, known for having climbed most of the hard routes in the Frankenjura area, incredibly quick repeats of many of the hardest routes in the world and many hard fist acents. He's very strong on pockets and has notoriously bad skin.
Alex was the first person in the world to onsight 9a with his ascent of [Estado Crítico](/climb/98/estado-crítico) in [Siurana](/crag/1728/siurana---valley). He has also onsighted [TCT](/climb/593/tct) (9a), [Underground](/climb/591/underground) (9a), [Intermezzo XY Gelöst](/climb/1464/intermezzo-xy-gelöst) (9a) and [Mr. Big](/climb/1009/mr.-big) (9a) making him one of the best first-go climbers in the world alongside [Adam Ondra](/climber/467/adam-ondra). Other notably quick ascents include [La Rambla](/climb/514/la-rambla) (9a+) second go, [Biographie](/climb/513/biographie) (9a+) in a session, [Demencia Senil](/climb/1323/demencia-senil) (9a+) third go and [Red Ram](/climb/2152/red-ram) (9a+) third go.
In 2018 Alex established [Perfecto Mundo](/climb/471/perfecto-mundo) (9b+) in [Margalef](/crag/27268/margalef) to become only the third person in the world to have climbed 9b+. In 202 Alex established [Bibliographie](/climb/466/bibliographie) (9b+) in [Céüse](/crag/2054/céüse) after 60 sessions of work over multiple years. Initially he suggested 9c, though after some repeats it has since settled at 9b+.
Alex is also an experienced competitor with 45 world cup appearances and 10 podium finishes as of the start of 2026.
