Jonathan Siegrist completes Me I Eat Dust (9a+)

Jonathan Siegrist, who has 75 routes 9a to 9b under his belt, has completed Me I Eat Dust (9a+) at the Unknown Crag in central Texas. (c) Ryan White

โ€2nd ascent of this obscure, intense and amazing route from Cody Roth. Very cool precision style with no rests. Massive thanks to the crew here and to Cody for the motivation! I made rapid progress in my first few days but I underestimated how hard the final moves would be from the ground... My preparation felt to be perfect - so happy to fight through it last night!

It climbs the crux of a 8c+ called โ€˜I Me Mineโ€™ and then without rest does a long and amazing V12 [8A+] boulder problemโ€


How many sessions did you put in?
I tried it once when I was visiting 3 years ago and loved the movement. As for working sessions not sure. Been here for 2 weeks but I had some trouble with conditions - itโ€™s so hard to get it perfect here as the cliff faces the sun and the winters are very short in Texas! For this reason night sessions are best.
