Tyler grew up in Bloomington, Indiana but moved to Wyoming to climb, snowboard, and study wildlife biology. These pursuits have taken him all over the US in search of the next alpine adventure. In the summer, Tyler’s main focus is alpine rock climbing. He has spent summers in Rocky Mountain National Park and logged many ascents of classic alpine walls including several ascents of The Diamond. In the winter, Tyler’s focus shifts to splitboard mountaineering. This has led him to several complex descents in the Tetons, Sierras, and Cascades.
