Before
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.
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]

Charles ability is hard to define on paper due to his unique choice in style: he typically climbs 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, for example [La Révolutionnaire Assis](/climb/1547/la-révolutionnaire-assis) 8C+/V16 and [Hypothèse Assis](/climb/1549/hypothèse-assis) 8C+/V16. 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). Though these ascentionists did use shoes.
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]

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.
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).

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.

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.
