Jonathan Siegrist
My lifelong passion for travel, and more recently my passion for rock climbing, has lead me to over 25 countries and influenced most of my decision making- in retrospect, maybe not always in the best way (but hey, being young is all about making mistakes right?.. right!?) Fresh out of college, with an undergraduate degree from Naropa University in Environmental Studies, I'm ambitious to pursue a lifestyle of travel, climbing and adventures for as long as possible.
With the support of my sponsors and the incredible global climbing community, I'm determined to ride this little dream of mine until my body (..or resources..) give up. I see climbing as a powerful vehicle for travel and a limitless medium for mental and physical challenge - which defines why I'm such an addict.
As I transition to and from my home base of Boulder, Colorado you can expect to see my name scribbled below high quality routes at the Boulder Rock Club, and I'll also be found coaching some sick strong youngsters with ABC and BRC junior teams. I created this site in the hopes that I could share a little inspiration and a few of my thoughts about the things I love, all the while encouraging the proper use of sick days and hopefully some hard sends! Please enjoy.
