Jonathan Siegrist repeats 'Erebor' (9b) in Arco, Italy

Last day, best day, once again! American climber Jonathan Siegrist has made the most of the dying hours of his Italy trip with a repeat of one of the hardest sport climbs in the country, Erebor located at the Eremo di San Paolo crag on the outskirts of Arco. Feed by Stefano Ghisolfi in 2021, this 9b has been repeated by Laura Rogora, Adam Ondra, Jakob Schubert, Stefano Carnati, Gabriele Moroni and Giovanni Placci.

39-year-old Siegrist, who described it as a "brutally hard and inspiring route", has climbed numerous 9b's including Stoking the Fire at Santa Linya in 2023, La Planta de Shiva at Villanueva del Rosario and Jumbo Love at Clark Mountain, USA.
