Alex Megos may well be the strongest climber in the world. But is he the best? 

In this episode I sit down in the Red River Gorge with Megos and his good friend Ken Etzel, the director of the new film that we are discussing, Rotpunkt

Rotpunkt gives us a rare glimpse into the up and down struggles of someone trying to become the best in the world. Maybe not surprisingly, these are struggles that every single one of us can relate to. Possibly even more fascinating is the bond that was forged between filmmaker and athlete, and the pressures that this bond had to endure while making the film. 

Carrots for power.
