The Six Degrees Project is an unclimbed project in Yosemite. [Aidan Roberts](/climber/227/aidan-roberts) made promising links of this during his 2024/25 season.
The problem has also been tried by the likes of [Nalle Hukkataival](/climber/602/nalle-hukkataival), [Jimmy Webb](/climber/668/jimmy-webb), [Dave Graham](/climber/503/dave-graham), [Carlo Traversi](/climber/770/carlo-traversi) and [Keenan Takahashi](/climber/939/keenan-takahashi).
