At 40 years old, Jonathan Siegrist continues to redefine longevity and peak performance in sport climbing. During a mid-December trip to Jilotepec, Mexico, Siegrist managed a "rampage" that most climbers wouldn't achieve in a lifetime: ticking four routes graded 5.14c (8c+) and 5.14d (9a) in a single week.
The Seven-Day Rampage (Dec 9 – Dec 16)
| Date | Route Name | Grade | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 9 | Mega Asesino | 5.14c (8c+) | Redpoint (Also onsighted a 5.13d same day) |
| Dec 11 | Las Chicas Superpoderosas | 5.14c (8c+) | Located on the iconic 'El Huevo' wall |
| Dec 14 | Lujuria | 5.14c (8c+) | "Pumpy and honestly just so fun" |
| Dec 16 | Chicos Superlujuriosos | 5.14d (9a) | Obvious link-up; 2nd ascent ever |
"The style on El Huevo is physical and very pumpy... it reminds me of some of the Catalan cliffs but also very unique." — Jonathan Siegrist
This Mexico trip caps off a stellar 2025 for Siegrist, which included the third ascent of Midnight Way (5.15a) in Squamish and the first ascent of Eazy Street (5.15a) in Mt. Charleston. He now holds a staggering record of over 90 routes at 5.14d or harder.
