Jonathan Siegrist, Part 2

This week we’re picking up where we left off with Jonathan Siegrist, who’s been at the top of American rock climbing for over a decade. Over that time, he has watched the sport change and grow dramatically, and he’s spent a lot of time reflecting on those changes and his own relationship with the sport. In this episode, we get a little deeper into his thoughts on the up-and-coming generation; his time on the Dawn Wall with Tommy Caldwell; what role “adventure” plays in climbing; and how we can shape the future of the sport in a positive way. Topics: Changes in the new generation of climbers (1:00) Climbing and adventurism (6:00) Why Jonathan is primarily known as a sport climber (10:40) Jonathan’s time with Tommy Caldwell on the Dawn Wall (13:00) Adam Ondra’s fast repeat of the Dawn Wall (16:20) What separates Adam from other climbers (21:00) How the climbing community can improve (25:30) Hosted on Acast.
