Jonathan Siegrist does Jungle Boogie (9a+)
“A total nemesis for me! So hard. I lost track of the days but it was.. a lot. I felt so close for a while now but just couldn't quite get the stars to align. Patience was the key. So proud that I saw it through, especially as the heat has arrived and the pressure was really mounting.”
What was the trick in the end?
It took some time to get the specific strength for it, and then it took a while to keep pushing and hope for the variables to align (skin, conditions, my mental and physical). In the end the ‘trick’ was patience and accepting the idea that I might try forever 😂
