Alex Megos. Ratstaman Vibrations Céüse, France, 2022

Print of Alex Megos climbing Ratstaman Vibrations 9b. First Ascent.

"The sport climbing route Ratstaman Vibrations at Céüse, France, was bolted by renowned climber Chris Sharma in 2012. Located in the Face de Rat sector, the route remained an elusive project for over a decade, attracting attempts from top climbers including Sébastien Bouin, Charles Albert, and Chris Sharma himself.

Calling Alex a friend is a privilege and his first ascent of Ratstaman Vibrations was one of the earliest significant rock climbs on which we joined forces. Filming and photographing that groundbreaking 9b ascent on the static line remains a memorable moment I will remember for a long time.  Alexa achieved the first free ascent in July 2022, proposing a grade of 9b (5.15b). He described the route as one of the best he had ever attempted in the 9b range."
