With the influx of professional climbers due to the Arc’teryx Climbing Academy, it is always fun to report what they have been up to during their stay despite some funny weather. In this fashion, Jonathan Siegrist has been cruising around town and made it to Paradise Valley when her on-sighted Queen Bee (5.13c), essentially flashed (after already climbing the first crux via Queen Bee) The B-side (5.13d), and made an ascent of Tom Wright’s Spirit of the West (5.14a) on his third try. Not sure how long he is sticking around but perhaps we could see him jump on Dreamcatcher before the end of his trip?
