Five Minutes with Alex Megos

Hello everyone! In this edition, we take five minutes to peek into the world of Alex Megos. Alongside his remarkable accomplishments on the rock, Alex also shares his passion for environmental conservation and some of his favorite products and books.

What should our followers definitely know about you?
Environmental protection is just as important to me as climbing, and it’s becoming increasingly important.

What is your favorite product from KletterRetter?
KletterRetter hand cream.

Do you have a skincare routine, and if so, what does it look like?
It’s not easy to explain. I invest a lot of time in skincare. Often, I tape my fingers overnight with cream if I have cuts. Sometimes, I even use cream under the tape when I climb. I also often use razor blades to cut away skin.

First ascent of Bibliographie.

Liquid or Powder?
Powder

What would you like to share with our followers (perhaps a book, a documentary, a website, an event)?
There are too many books to name here. So I’ll name a few: “How to Save Our Planet” by Mark Maslin, “Wasteland” by Oliver Franklin Wallis, “The 6th Extinction” by Elizabeth Kolbert, “Eating Animals” by Jonathan Safran Foer.
