We are pleased to announce that Alex Megos has made the first ascent of the hardest route in Canadian history! The route, Fight Club (5.15b) located at Ravens Crag in Banff, AB was sent late yesterday on his fourth go of the day after working the rig over five days. The route itself is an extension to an open project that was bolted by Sonnie Trotter on a whim earlier this month.
Perhaps the Canadian Rockies have more to offer in terms of hard climbing! Only time will tell! Be on the look out for the footage of this route filmed by Sonnie Trotter!
