    Alex Mego's new film Rotpunkt is out and shows a different side of Alex from one you've seen before. He's open, vulnerable and always challenging himself. We caught up with him after the Kendal Mountain Film Festival for an exclusive chat.

      ​Nope, I think it will be a new garment for Patagonia! I've already seen this pullover worn by Tommy Caldwell on a pic on Instagram. It's a new pullover with capilene and it will probably be on sale in spring collection but more realistically in fall 2020. And I'm quite interested too!

    • @ReedWolfewawrzynek
      @ReedWolfewawrzynek 4 года назад +1

      Thanks. I have an old version of the R1 that I absolutely love, and in dawn wall, Tommy Caldwell wears the exact same one. But this new one has z striped insulation so it’s different in some way.

    Last time he said "You have two options, you can either get stronger, or, wait that's the only option, and I was expecting him to say "you have one option, get stronger. Oh wait, your genetics don't allow you to get as strong as I am, so you are out of options." this time.

    Watched the film because Alex has always come across as quite a cool guy who doesn't take himself too seriously. Unfortunately the movie makes him look like a just another self-centred, petulant "pro" climber.

      They shouldn't have edited out the segment where he was saving children in Calcutta and put an end to war in the Middle East. I guess they needed the time for his wobbler on Jumbo Love instead.

      Alex is a chill guy, but when you're trying to be the best in the world the pressure is literally on a different level. Showing him responding in a human way to that environment is something that I would love to see more of from the professional climbing community. Maybe that's just me
