The new guide book's description is " crank your way up the obvious line of large huecos". What makes this climb 12a?? Is it a overhanging jug haul?

Probably the long reaches and the angle of the rock. I thought that getting off of the ground was the hardest part. Maybe 12a for short people and 11a for tall people. Who knows. Fun route though!

You need to be able to trust your feet on not so good edges while you make a few long moves.

The huecos are so large and they have huge incut jugs in each one. You can actually crawl into each of the huecos and rest.

I love that route and if I could do that one move, I'd probably have it. My skin is still regrowing from getting on it at the end of the weekend last week.

I'm sorry, before I can answer that, can you please define your purpose?
