Can you tell us more about the ascent?
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to take a spontaneous trip to Lander and climb at Wolf Point for the first time. It’s wild to think that I have been climbing in the Lander area since I was a little kid, and have never made it out to the point—until now.

When I arrived, Lion’s Share immediately caught my eye—it’s the centerpiece route of the wall! After just a few sessions on the route, I managed to “tickle the send,” falling on the exit moves of the final crux. I thought I’d get it on my next try, but had to be patient—respect the route, wait for better skin and conditions.

It’s been super fun (and inspiring) to hang at the cliff with the badass Lander climbing folk... Fingers crossed I can sneak in one more hard route before the summer heat really sets in!
