The sequel chapter to Rotpunkt picks up with Alex Megos at Céüse, the sweeping blue-and-gold wall above Gap that many call the best sport cliff on earth. His project is Bibliographie, a line right of the legendary Biographie that would become, at 9c, the hardest route he had ever done.

Sixty days of effort compress into seventeen minutes of tension. This is projecting stripped bare: skin management, doubt, the absurd arithmetic of linking a hundred desperate moves. Patagonia's crew shoots Céüse like it deserves, and when the send finally comes it lands with real weight because you've watched exactly how much it cost.
