BJ Tilden, 44, FAโ€™s Show Your Teeth (9a)

BJ Tilden, who previously has put up some 30 routes 8c+ and beyond, has done the first ascent of Show Your Teeth (9a) in Wolf Point. (c) Matt Pincus

Can you tell us more about the process behind the FA?
I bolted this route last summer. I tried it a few days in the fall to get the beta sorted but didnโ€™t go too deep on it. I knew it was really good and I was super psyched to focus on it this spring. The bottom of the route is a 30 move sprint right from the ground, then a good rest and a pumpy 8b to finish. The white panel climbing is some of the best at the cliff. It came together after eleven days of effort this spring.
