Jonathan Siegrist ticks The Big Wish (9a)

Jonathan Siegrist, who last month sent his seventh 9b, has done The Big Wish (9a) in Utah Hills. ”Had a blast climbing this thing! Felt a tad bit harder and more involved than either Big Claw or Big Head. The 'Big' extension really delivers.. the pump.”

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
Since getting back from Italy I was keen to keep some of my shape from that trip - ideally holding on to as much as I could until I leave for Wyoming at the end of May! I knew that the various routes in the Fynn cave would be great training for this summer so I went out there this past week for 2 days and had a blast on the resistant style in there. I am a huge fan of 'training' on sub-limit routes outside. On Thursday I climbed the second ascent of 'Big Wish' 9a and also Big Head (8c+). Next I will try to get some of my many lingering projects up at 5G cleaned up and see if I can climb something more before I leave.
