The Yeti V9

Another Tahoe FA... So many to do! It's sick! This is some good solid rock out near Kirkwood. If those big boulders were not at the base, this rig might be a four-star contender. It's a strong three as is. Here's Noah on the First Ascent. Thanks To Jay Sell, Brock and Don for finding these boulders, cleaning them, and sharing their find! Tahoe rocks! See map for loaction. Many FA's to do!

Great problem, but not v9. Graded too high like most of the stuff in tahoe. This would probably be a v6 in bishop.

@karmadrug have you done it? I didn't think so. This problem is v9. please don't second guess things that are out of your league. I can think of several v9's in Bishop, hueco, rocklands, font, etc. that I did much more quickly than this climb. Your inflammatory comments are sadly common. Grades in Tahoe are right on compared to the rest of the world.

Nice one noah, If anything Tahoe is stiff, esp. Noah's climbs cuz dude is super long. Btw Dave even thought itchy and scratchy were stiff out at sugarpine. Wish we got video of those!
