Tiger Kween 9a FA by Joe Kinder (42)

Joe Kinder has done the FA of Tiger Kween (9a). "Bolted by my wife Lindsey and one of the more unique routes I've done. VERY unconventional climbing. Goodbye cave... you've been good to me physically and mentally. I LOVE ROCK CLIMBING! Thereโ€™s not a whole lot of pump which I kind of enjoyed. And the difficulty is in two different bolder problems. One is around V8 (7B+) and the other one is about V12 (8A+). "

Bolted by your wife, what?
Lindsey saw the line, aided up it and got one of the best FAโ€™s Iโ€™ve had the pleasure of climbing. It took her about a day. There werenโ€™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 ).
