Hamish McArthur Sending Megatron V17!
Share
Hamish McArthur achieved the second ascent of Megatron V17 in Colorado’s Dorado Canyon earlier this year, following Shawn Raboutou’s first ascent in 2022.
Megatron was a long-term goal for elite climbers, including Daniel Woods, who established a stand-start called Tron V14 in 2017. Woods noted that Megatron combines seven moves of solid V15 into Tron without rest.
In the past year, McArthur ticked off several notable hard boulders in North America, including Big Z V16 in California. In 2024, he spent weeks in Squamish, flashing Frontside V12 and Fool Me Once V14, making the first ascent of Backside Blowout V14, and climbing Sword in the Stone V14, The Singularity V15, and Seven V14/15.
