In 1984 he went to Germany where he met Wolfgang Güllich, Kurt Albert and Jerry Moffatt (“This was the beginning of my true climbing career”) to climb in the Frankenjura and in the Verdon Canyon in the South of France. The redpoint climbing philosophy of Kurt Albert on YouTube and the extremely tough training methods of Wolfgang Güllich had a strong influence on Jesse.

This was the first route as hard as 5.13b in Alabama. Then he did the route “Tour de jour”, which was the second 5.14a climb in the United States of America at that time. In 1992 he moved to Boulder, Colorado where he put up many new hard routes like Reeperbahn 5.13b, Twist and Shout 5.13c and the Gagger 5.14a.
1993 Jesse was invited by Jeff Lowe to take part in an expedition with Catherine Destivelle to climb the Makalu in the Himalayas.
