Bad Girls Club (5.14d) Repeated By Jonathan Siegrist

Posted September 5, 2011 at 5:28 pm · Comments { 0 } ·

Not long after its FA by Matty Hong, Jonathan Siegrist has, according to my spies, done the 2nd ascent of Bad Girls Club (5.14d) in Rifle, CO. More details to come, I’m sure, on Siegrists’ excellent blog.

Update: As expected, Siegrist has posted about the send which came on his 8th try:

3 rests, nearly a hundred moves and 17 bolts later, I was clipping chains. Very pleased. First and foremost, Joey Kinder deserves a shout out – he put in tons of effort on this thing, cleaning it up, equipping it and giving it love. (sorry I doubted you man! this is a RAD addition, and a worthy Colorado test-piece). Secondly, Matty Hong – a really impressive effort… Matty has become a true king of this style, having done almost every hard route in the canyon, psyched for you man!

Update 2: Siegrist also sent The Crew (5.14c) and talks about both sends in this interview with Rock & Ice

Potential 5.14d FA In Rifle By Matty Hong

Posted August 22, 2011 at 1:41 pm · Comments { 3 } ·

Rock & Ice has the details on Matty Hong doing the FA of a route Joe Kinder bolted and left as an open project last summer in Rifle, CO called Bad Girls Club:

What makes Bad Girls Club difficult is that it is stacked with difficult boulder problems, culminating with a V-double-digit boulder problem right at the lip of the 100-foot cave. Whether the mythic 5.14d grade will hold remains to be seen.
