Best 5.12A?
Best 5.12A?
As an aspiring 5.12 climber I'm trying to figure out what the best and or easiest 5.12A's in the red are. I know that "Wild, yet tasty", "Ro Shampo" and "Hippocrite" are popular first 5.12's but I was looking for a little more insight to some lesser traveled lines. Of course the grade of any 5.12 could be debated all day but for a legitimate, high quality 5.12, what's the best route?

you might not want to lead this one until you're SURE you can clip each bolt. there's potential for a really nasty fall at the 4th. at least - that's what i've seen.der uber wrote:Easier 12a's:
