was wondering how long is was going to take for someone to bring that one up :D
Also, in case you haven't noticed, the climbing at Santee is extremely un-bouldery and a lot more like thin face route climbing, which is why a lot of people feel the YDS grades make a lot more sense.

They were rated in YDS before the V scale existed. Someone took it upon themselves to write a new guidebook with all the grades in the V system instead of YDS. No one has done that yet at Santee.
