Climbing: Is there an area you’d like to travel to specifically for climbing in the future (short or long term)?

Siegrist: Wow, where do I begin... I returned to South East Asia with my girlfriend last winter (07) and I am planning another return trip for this upcoming December. Otherwise I would love to climb in China, South America, Australia, and Scandinavia. Aside from a bunch of climbing here in the states that I have yet to check out.

Climbing: Is there a certain climb you have your sights set on for the future?

Siegrist: For the mean time I am stoked on trying hard trad stuff and lots of climbing in Rocky Mountain National Park up high, but no specific projects until the fall. I have some unfinished business up at the Industrial Wall to take care of.

Climbing: Who’s a climber you respect and why?

Siegrist: I really like Tommy Caldwell. He and his dad Mike Caldwell did a lot of amazing development work around here all throughout the 90's. Tommy has an incredible eye for new routes as well as super human strength to establish them all. He's got a very respectable attitude about climbing and nearly always has a smile on his face.
