Alex Megos on Wolfgang Güllich and Climbing Action Directe

Check out our new book, Written In Stone: The 1990s! There’s no climber more qualified to discuss Action Directe than Alex Megos. He has the fastest ascent, the most ascents, and he is, in our estimation, the person who is carrying the torch that Wolfgang Güllich left behind.  In this episode, we discuss the visionary line of Action Directe, what makes it different and so present in our consciousness even over 30 years after the first ascent, and how the Frankenjura was the perfect training ground. We also get into Wolfgang, his presence in climbing, and his influence on Alex.  Check out more here! ---------------------------------- Thank you to our partner, Tension Climbing.
