Jonathan Siegrist climbs Hard Twisted (9a+)

Jonathan Siegrist, who completed his seventh 9b this past April, has now sent Hard Twisted (9a+) and Lion's Share (9a) in Wolf Point. At 39, he's now ticked off 87 routes graded 9a or harder, with the past year standing out as one of the most successful of his career. (c) Nate Liles

Hard Twisted: โ€A big and involved journey from Tilden up the gut of the cave. Got lucky and had one of those rare tries where everything just clicks. Awesome feeling sticking the Dire Wolf crux way up there! Grateful to be back in Wyoming, trying hard.โ€

Lionโ€™s share: โ€My skin was screaming through the white panel but I somehow kept it together. Super psyched!โ€
