Alex Megos is a legend in the climbing world, pushing the limits of what's possible in sport climbing and bouldering. He was meant to compete at the recent Black Diamond Project event, but a finger injury ruled him out. We took the opportunity to talk to Alex about all things climbing, and get an insight into what makes him tick. Part two coming tomorrow.

Check out Alex's Shoes here.
