Jonathan Siegrist gives us the Wolf Point story and sends 9a

Jonathan Siegrist has done the first repeat of BJ Tilden’s Show Your Teeth (9a) at Wolf Point. ”Great punchy route with a variety of savage movement. Enormous stab to the pocket at the 4th bolt was my definitive crux and took me a while to figure out. So psyched to get it done just in time for deep summer to arrive!! Similar to Lion's Share in the grade, I think entry level 9a.” (c) Nate Liles

There are around 45 routes in total, with the longest reaching approximately 40 meters and nine of them graded 8c+ or harder. The topo can be find in the Vertical-Life App.

Can you tell us more about Wolf Point?
Wolf Point is a wild, remote crag near Lander, WY. It's a real Wyoming experience - 4x4 is mandatory for the road, there are rattlesnakes, bears and cougars around, and the hike is pretty brutal - being uphill both ways as you have to descend to a river crossing and then go back up the other side of the canyon. It was first found by Steve Bechtel and Todd Skinner many years ago, but it wasn't until 2012 and 2013 that the real motivation for developing the place began. In 2013 I spent the whole spring, summer, and fall in Lander - largely with the drive to develop routes at Wolf Point. It was an amazing time, lots of hard work from the crew and in the end we got a solid first round of hard routes put in.

Since then, BJ Tilden and prolific bolter Tom Rangitsch have mostly filled in the remaining walls. BJ has been a friend and an inspiration for many years. Because of his work - as a carpenter - and his family, he rarely gets to travel but instead puts a ton of energy into doing high level first ascents around Central Wyoming. He's the singular driving force for Wyoming being a true destination for very hard climbing in the USA. Wolf Point is maybe the most impressive of the crags he's helped develop but there are many other gems around the area too. This season at the Point was very special because of all the action - many folks teamed up and anchored into the June season in a serious way. It's for sure the most hard sending that the crag has ever seen. I was stoked to be a part of it!
