Arc’teryx athlete Jonathan Siegrist (@jonathansiegrist) is one of the leading sport climbers of this generation — and one of its most prolific route developers. It’s a bewildering combination. Climbing nearly a hundred 9a (and harder) routes demands endless training, travel, and dedication. Yet he still finds time for the hard work of bolting new routes, along with everything that comes with it: scouting new cliffs, building trails, and the elbow-taxing work of prepping and cleaning the rock itself. “It began as a selfish thing,” he admits. “But pretty soon after seeing the way other people responded to the climbs I was putting up, and how the community embraced certain elements of what I was doing, the selfishness dissolved.” Read “Opening Lines” now.  Only on Lithographica.  Link in bio 🔗 📸: @marble_rye
