Black Hole Sun 9a FA by Jonathan Siegrist
Jonathan Siegrist, who previously has done 55 routes 9a to 9b, has done the FA of Black Hole Sun in 5G. This was the 35-year-old's 17th FA 9a and harder.
" I bolted this route at the end of last season - in October. It is next to my route, Nu World. This year June was insanely hot in Southern Nevada! So I was quite nervous I wouldn't finish it before the full on summer.
One of my harder FA's and also one of my best I'd say. Intense strength endurance for the first 60 feet or so and then a 60 foot 8b+ on top of that. Quite hard at 9a, felt harder than some 9a+ to me, but hard seems to be the theme up here and I'm sick of grading stuff so this will do for now. Next week I will get another big project cleaned up and ready for the fall season...โ

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
