9a by Jonathan Siegrist again

Jonathan Siegrist has made a quick ascent in just three tries of Honour and Glory 9a in Echo Canyon. "Strength endurance crimping at its finest, in a fantastic setting! Perfectly my style, but I definitely hesitate when calling it 9a... time will tell. 3 tries." This was Jonathan's 27th 9a and possibly his fastest but it might be that he is peaking as he just in July also have done four 8c+'s. (c) Mike Hopkins On his Insta he gives more details like, "the hike is a solid 90 minutes and 2k elevation, the conditions are bizarre because not only does the wall seep like crazy (many holds on HnG were wet) but the mornings are pretty damn chilly and then suddenly at 1:30pm it gets debilitatingly hot."
