Black Sheep 9a FA by BJ Tilden (38)

BJ Tilden has done Black Sheep which is his fourth 9a FA and also his fifth 8c+ or harder FA at Wolf Point. "The route is actually a link-up. Each piece took a whole season on its own. The start is called Sheep Eye. It's a hard 8c that I bolted and climbed 5 years ago. It look the whole spring season to send. The Black Streak is a route called God of War 8c+. I climbed that route 2 years ago and it took the whole fall season. I started trying the link last fall. I spent about four weeks on it and fell off the last move 10 times. This spring the crag opened late due to lots of snow. We only had five days in there. I fell on the last move another 6 times. I'm pretty sure yesterday was the last chance before it got too hot."
