<p>Nico Pelorson is a prolific name and developer in the Fontainebleau scene and further afield. He is known for his ascents of <a href="/climb/849/soudain-seul">Soudain Seul</a> 9A and <a href="/climb/827/no-kpote-only">No Kpote Only</a> 9A. He subsecquently downgraded both boulders to 8C+ and 8C respectively. </p>
<p>Nico is also known for his interesting music career being behind the masterpiece <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBS_nOUZUFY">Mini Drill</a>.</p>
<p><a href="/climber/498/lucien-martinez">Lucien Martinez</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>A last one for the road. In the 65° overhang of Blocage, the small ‘gym’ in Font, Nico Pelorson opened a boulder (red holds) with a move of pure crimping and core strength that seemed to me not to work. Yet Nico managed to do it, and even adding the two moves prior. It was around the time he made Big Island sit [<a href="/climb/849/soudain-seul">Soudain Seul</a>] and he was a monster. The climbers who passed by the gym and saw his boulder thought it was so impossible as to be a joke. [1]</p>

Before
<p>Alex Megos is a German sport climber known for his cutting-edge first ascents, historic onsights, and astonishingly rapid repeats of some of the world’s hardest routes. Hailing from the Frankenjura, he has climbed virtually every hard route in the area. Unsurprisingly, he is exceptionally strong on pockets, though he is also famous for having notoriously poor skin.</p>
<p>Alex was the first person in the world to onsight 9a with his ascent of <a href="/climb/98/estado-crítico" rel="noopener noreferrer">Estado Crítico</a> in <a href="/crag/1728/siurana---valley" rel="noopener noreferrer">Siurana</a>. He has also onsighted <a href="/climb/593/tct" rel="noopener noreferrer">TCT</a> (9a), <a href="/climb/591/underground" rel="noopener noreferrer">Underground</a> (9a), <a href="/climb/1464/intermezzo-xy-gelöst" rel="noopener noreferrer">Intermezzo XY Gelöst</a> (9a) and <a href="/climb/1009/mr.-big" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mr. Big</a> (9a) making him one of the best first-go climbers in the world alongside <a href="/climber/467/adam-ondra" rel="noopener noreferrer">Adam Ondra</a>. Other notably quick ascents include <a href="/climb/514/la-rambla" rel="noopener noreferrer">La Rambla</a> (9a+) second go, <a href="/climb/513/biographie" rel="noopener noreferrer">Biographie</a> (9a+) in a session, <a href="/climb/1323/demencia-senil" rel="noopener noreferrer">Demencia Senil</a> (9a+) third go and <a href="/climb/2152/red-ram" rel="noopener noreferrer">Red Ram</a> (9a+) third go.</p>
<p>In 2018 Alex established <a href="/climb/471/perfecto-mundo" rel="noopener noreferrer">Perfecto Mundo</a> (9b+) in <a href="/crag/27268/margalef" rel="noopener noreferrer">Margalef</a> to become only the third person in the world to have climbed 9b+. In 2020 Alex established <a href="/climb/466/bibliographie" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bibliographie</a> (9b+) in <a href="/crag/2054/céüse" rel="noopener noreferrer">Céüse</a> after 60 sessions of work over multiple years. Initially he suggested 9c, though after some repeats it has since settled at 9b+.</p>
<p>Alex is also an experienced competitor with 45 world cup appearances and 10 podium finishes as of the start of 2026.</p>

Before
Alex Megos is a German sport climber known for his cutting-edge first ascents, historic onsights, and astonishingly rapid repeats of some of the world’s hardest routes. Hailing from the Frankenjura, he has climbed virtually every hard route in the area. Unsurprisingly, he is exceptionally strong on pockets, though he is also famous for having notoriously poor 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 2020 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.
