Jonathan Siegrist ticks Pneuma (9a)
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
The crux comes without any rest before, and you have 6 really hard moves on bad holds, still no rest whatsoever you go directly into another 6 move boulder problem ending with a really fun big move to a jug. Still, a small exit crux guards the chains. I started trying right after climbing its neighbour - The Ritual. I had been thinking of coming to try Pneuma for years and my good friend BJ Tilden opened the route and said it was amazing - he was right! Last year he also did The Ritual so finally with two hard ones I knew it was time to make the trip up North.
