"Alex Megos - Red Ram (9a+) First Repeat | UNCUT Ascent" is a rock climbing video (9 minutes) published by Tenaya on April 1, 2026 with 46K views. Available to watch free on CouchClimbs.

Nearly a decade after Ramon Julián Puigblanque established Red Ram (9a+) at Montserrat in 2013, the route had been waiting in silence for a second suitor. That wait ended when Alex Megos arrived with a film crew and a sharp eye for sequences, dispatching one of the area's most storied testpieces on just his third attempt and cementing his place in the route's short but storied history. What sets this film apart is the uncut format — no jump cuts, no dramatic score masking the effort, just nine-plus minutes of raw, high-stakes climbing at the limit of human ability. Watch Megos decode the puzzle in real time, move by precise move, on a route that had stumped the world's best for over a decade.
