The content is awesome as usual, but I would love to see you do a voiceover on one of these hard climbs. Watching you climb is entertainment as it is, but knowing your thought process on the moves would make it that much better. keep crushing !

Cool to see Alex less alone than usual and so well accompanied. Love the simplicity, the holes in the tee shirt, the cooking, putting someone else under the lights, the music and still no sreamings, AND the great moment of climbing, thanks a lot and keep going on this way 🙂

Nice video! I just have an opinion to make the videos better: I would like it more if you give more information and commentary about the route in the video. Like for example, how many moves there are, where are the hardest parts, what do you focus on in the different sections, what's specifically difficult about this route, what makes it cool, etc. By giving the viewers more information you give the route more personality and it becomes a better story. I get that you don't want to do it with every video, but it's just a tip to make your videos better. Keep crushing!

@@nattokami9598 I'm not sure where you're getting your information but; in a 2021 interview with 8a nu Megos states: "So are you vegan or have you reduced eating meat? I went fully vegan. Beginning of this year I went plant-based. It's healthier and better for the planet. So what is your favourite vegan meal? I just love vegetables. All sorts of veggies made in all sorts of ways 😍" Unless you have more recent information indicating that he has changed, I think it is safe to assume Megos is vegan. I'm not sure if I just missed it but could you provide the timestamp where he eats yoghurt? Regardless, plant-based yoghurt is pretty common so I don't think that would be especially strong evidence...

@alexandermegos8129 Жыл бұрын

I am sorry but I think you have misunderstood something. It's not a Petzl production, it's just been promoted by Petzl. Nor has it been professionally filmed or edited. We can't run a permanent professional video production because of the cost, nor do we want to. Climbing clearly comes first for us, nor do we have the goal of being professional youtubers. The videos were edited by a good friend who is an athlete himself and sacrifices his free time for this project.
