Jonathan Siegrist | God's Crag
Рет қаралды 76,567
3 жыл бұрынNestled Deep in the Colorado Hills lies God's Crag, a crag with an abundance of potential for new lines, perfect for a sport climber at the peak of his game (enter frame right Jonathan Siegrist)
Whilst on a road trip Jonathan researched the local crags of Colorado to find something that needed a bit of development, and found some hidden gems in the beautiful landscape, just outside of Lake City.

Hidden Gems At Gods Crag | Jonathan Siegrist

@Jonathan Siegrist The Captain was neither half-baked nor forgotten. In the years we were developing The Mileski Wall the waterfall was prolific due to snowpack sometimes even drenching the top of L'homme de la Renaissance. The top of The Captain never was dry. After I finished up with The Renaissance Man, and a few other routes, I moved away from climbing due to injury and other interests. I am glad to see video of someone climbing on it and I hope the plaque we installed in remembrance of Jack Mileski, the namesake of the route and wall, is still in place.

The plaque is still there and solid, a great tribute to Jack in a special place. Thanks for your work up there Dan. 🙏

To be honest this “route development” is only useful if other people can find and climb them. This means the routes (or at the very least the crag) have to be documented in some climbing guide. Otherwise he’s just putting them up for his own enjoyment. Which is fine by me, a few bolts won’t hurt anyone.

Steph Johnson, Dan Durland, Courtney Scales, RVA, Bob Bernholtz, Brad Tomlin, Pete Peacok and I started developing this area in the mid 1990’s. I’m torn about seeing it on here because it’s always been a secret locals gem and great place to avoid the Front Range crowds. However, we always knew it was world class at the time and to see JS so psyched on it today, I feel blessed to have been part of the initial era when it all began 25yrs ago. I know my friends would feel the same.

I met Pete up there, awesome guy and was a great wealth of information. I was concerned to send more traffic out there too, but ultimately it's pretty remote, there is not a huge amount of climbing, and the ticks are heinous. Doubt it will ever really blow up. I replaced a bunch of the old hardware on the creamy salmon wall while we were there, and will return next summer to give some more routes on the mileski the upgrade they deserve too. Cheers and respect for your vision out there. 🙏

@@toddjohnson779 Cheers man. I replaced 5 sets of anchors with stainless and added lower-offs on the creamy salmon I believe. Black Velvet got hooked up with glue-ins for all of its pro as it runs water regularly. Hardware was mostly in pretty good shape for being 20+ years old.

@@toddjohnson779 That's correct. To take ownership of something that I was only a small part of isn't right. It was your vision that really made it happen. Along with a lot of the other routes in the Gunnison Valley. You were a great friend and mentor at the time, and I miss hanging out and climbing with you. Despite my greenness 20+ years ago when we were climbing there I do recall standing on hooks on the frontside while placing bolts. So saying I wasn't a part of it would also be a lie. As for being high... What I recall from those days, we were ALL high!
