There are a few routes on YaSoo... I'll try and dig up the info and post.
My silly question (and I am sure the answer is "no" for more than one reason)...
Has this route ever been soloed?

Yo Anders...
YaSoo Dome
South Face, 5.9, six pitches.
FA:Jim Baldwin, Kit Carr. June 1963 (III 5.7, A2)
More or less climbs the left side of the obvious feature in the center of the face. Looks like the only 5.9 is on the last pitch.
The Chief, V, 5.11b, A1
FA:Al Swanson, Authur James Foley III, Brian Warshow. August 1992
15 pitches. Four pitches of 5.11 and another three of 5.10. They gave it a three-star rating.
Topos are in 1994 Reid guide.

I like the idea of it, but I never did get up the South Face of Watkins (save for the SE buttress).
I did several first one day ascents in Yosemite--Lost Arrow Spire and Quarter Domes, but not Watkins. Not sure who got that one.
cheers
