Ascent Notes for: Yertle the Turtle - 5.12a Average Rating : 4.17/5

Solid 12a - pretty consistent throughout the climb.

easy to climb up blowing smoke for a top rope if you want.

This route provides a reachy, precise crux at the bottom to fun back and forth sidepulls. Top's a breeze.

Finally sent this on my 7th try. Took me longer than my other 12a's. I saw many different ways to do this route so if it's not working for you, maybe try different beta. My original beta was much less efficient than my current beta.

really fun short yet sustained climb. first 12a!

such a blast. pretty pumpy for me.

fun!

Wanted to onsight this but really didn't warm up well enough. Got it on the second try.

This is a great 12a. The climb is slightly negative with a variety of different features from crimps, to slots, to a sloper, to a ledge. There is a lot of dancing with your feet. It is a beautiful climb worth doing.

So fun
