Described by Adam Ondra as 'one of the best sport crags in the world' the 'Camping' sector of Van d'en Haut is characteristic of many Swiss sport climbing venues. Tall, imposing and very steep, the limestone buttress commands impressive views of Lac de Salanfe and its surrounding hills. The climbing is practically unparalleled in the whole of Switzerland and even better for our climbers it stays (mostly) dry in the rain. While Hazel and Emily set their sights on one of the crag's classic 8a routes, Tommy and Alex turn their attention to the long, sustained 8c 'Van de Panique.' Tommy drops the onsight, but Alex, with his flair for fast ascents, steps up eagerly to try the line.

They also could've called this:"Alex Megos showing off to trad-climbing legends"...
-
Tommy's got a clot of class, I'm sure it would be hard to seem weak to a younger, better climber, but Tommy gave Alex mega props.
-
Alex Megos is so awesome. I love watching him climb, he's so inspiring.
-
Imagine shaking their hands
-
I just love that Alex isn't too arrogant about his skills. He'd rather just show you
-
And I'm over here struggling to climb the stairs.
-
0:38 this jump is pretty cool
-
Alex is really good but I feel like this tv show is making him look way more superior compared to the other climbers...
-
Dam give him 10 years hea gonna be a legend i see the determination in his eyes somethin feirce
-
I feel like this a infomercial with the commentary and the 'pumpy' music
-
Nice! What language was the voice-over?
-
He should try out for Ninja Warrior.
-
how would that harness stop them fall
-
I love how some of them give off that "I'm a bit embarrassed or ashamed" attitude when there's really nothing to really be embarrassed of, considering their skill. There are a lot of people who can't do the things they do. xD
-
Amazes me to see them holding on with just there finger tips and still able to spring up a foot to the next hold .. I would like to know the effects that has on the fingers how much energy and spring can a climber generate using just arms and fingers .... and what are the difference in muscle groups do climbers have or are best to have for climbing and is there a perfect size and build
-
I've been to the top of that mountain, I took the easy way uo though
-
this life of luxury.
-
I know nothing about climbing but i am curious about something. The attach in wich they put their line and then trow themselves from with no fear at all, who tells them they are secure ?
-
What belay technique is Tommy using at 6:17? He's just casually pulling rope out of the top of his belay device with no brake hand or anything. Is there a certain device that let's you do this nonchalantly like that?
-
How do they get down ?
