Hey Narc, he updated the blog with some additional sends including a second try ascent of Nagypapa. In case you wanted to update the original post.

*A Flash is sending first try with as much information as possible.

In theory an onsight is done first try with no prior knowledge of the route. A flash is done first try with as much information about the route as possible (within reason).

What’s the difference between a flash and an onsight? I always associated flashes with boulders and onsights with routes.

Wow, almost as impressive when listed, as is the fact that jonathan keeps his biz unlisted. Cool to see a list though. (that’s maybe half of it) You can add the first flash of Transworld Deprevity on there as well. Best 2.5 week sport trip by one of our boys, on our soil, ever? Could be.

[...] Jonathan Siegrist has amassed one of the most impressive ticklist on American rock. During a two week stay at the Red River Gorge, Seigrist redpointed seven 5.14 routes (three of which were 5.14c), sent three 13d routes, onsighted, three 13c routes and climbed 11 more routes ranging from 13a to 13b. More details here. [...]

Yep.

Jonathan has really sampled a wide variety of the hardest routes at the Red. The sheer quantity is very impressive as Peter said.

All those routes in one trip?

Really impressive. I’m with Peter on this one, good to see someone with that skill level sample all the best routes a world class area like RRG can offer. Jonathan seems to be having a lot of fun, which is what climbing has to be all about!

I think what Jonathan meansis that he tried some moves on the route but he didn’t complete.Then he gives a goodtry and redpointed it.

the sheer volume of this list is mind blowing. very inspiring to see a climber come to the red and tick so many classics of all grades instead of just sitting beneath a project.

Jonathan wasn’t clear in his post about whether he onsighted or flashed those routes so I didn’t want to assume one way or the other.

Hey Narc, when you say:

“Convicted (5.13a, 1st try)
Skin Boat (5.13a, 1st try)”

What is a first try if not an Onsight or a Flash?
