Von Jonathan Siegrist gibt es auch mal wieder was Neues. So konnte er mit „Nu World“ (9a+/b/5.15a/b) in einem neuem Klettergebiet, nahe Las Vegas, eine neue Toproute erstbegehen. Insgesamt hat der US-Amerikaner nun schon 14 Routen im Grad 9a+ bis 9b absolviert. Darunter mit „Jumbo Love und „La Planta de Shiva“ zwei 9b-Routen.

„From the brink of madness to complete elation.. Climbing has this special way of making us feel so deeply, all the while being somehow meaningless and yet also utterly everything at the same time. I gave a lot of mental, physical and emotional energy to this incredible route – and felt all of the ups and downs along the way. Very proud to say that it’s done! ‘Nu World’ FA. Unsure on the grade yet. It’s without question one of my absolute hardest, and in many ways it’s just the beginning! Look to @epictvclimbing for a video short in the sometime soon(ish).
