Jonathan Siegrist Repeats 'Flex Luthor,' Skeptical of 5.15b Upgrade. “There are two main compasses that I try to use for grades,” @jonathansiegrist told Steven Potter (@s_b_potter). “One is time invested, and two is effort expenditure. I gave it quite a bit of thought. I do think that my climbing is pretty good right now. But for me, six days is remarkably faster than any other 5.15b I've done." 'Flex Luthor' caps another ridiculously successful year for Siegrist—he’s done six 5.15s—but he’s not much of a celebrator. When Potter spoke with him after the send, he said that he was focusing on “holding space” for “the version of myself who didn’t send.” “It’s a way of remembering that there are so many outcomes, and sending is one of them, but it’s not always the one that we get," Siegrist said. "And I have lived through so many different outcomes. There are times when it works out perfectly. But there are times when it’s the last day, and the last try, and the weather is perfect, and you just don’t do it. So I just try to remember all of those things. I never want to get too obsessed with the success part. Instead, I try to hold space for the version of myself who didn’t send. Because that’s going to be me in the future. I like to remember that that’s the way that life can go too.” Tap the link in bio to read the full story. Photos by Cameron Maier (@bearcam).
