Tiger Kween 9a FA by Joe Kinder (42)
Bolted by your wife, what?
Lindsey saw the line, aided up it and got one of the best FA’s I’ve had the pleasure of climbing. It took her about a day. There weren’t many adjustments either which was so nice. She has climbed up to 8b and bolted some ten lines. We were both developing more at that cliff during the pandemic. It was a place we could hide out and be alone and we put up some amazing routes. Basically, the two I sent recently are siblings. Mammajama and now Tiger Kween. (We will follow up with an article about Lindsey's bolting, as it's great to see more women developing routes and crags ).
