Tyler Thompson ticks Lion's Share (9a)

Tyler Thompson, with two 9a+’ to his name, has repeated BJ Tilden’s Lion's Share (9a) in Wolf Point. ”Surprised myself getting through the bottom yesterday and managed to keep it together. Nice one BJ!” (c) Nate Liles

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
We came out to lander about two weeks ago mostly to check out wolf point but also wild iris, both areas I’d never climbed before. Wolf point impressed me a lot, being one of the most stacked walls in the states. On my second day I checked out Lions share, an amazing power endurance 9a from BJ. After checking the moves I decided to have a redpoint try and immediately tweaked my finger on the first mono in the crux.

I waited about a week to try again. My middle finger was not 100% but I found certain body positions that let me do all of the mono moves with my right index finger instead. I was super motivated and one hung the route on my next session. The following day I was able to redpoint on my second try of the day.
