if you can work a 12d then you can probably climb a 10a trad without falling, so don't eliminate them from you list. oh wait, wrong forum!
efil lanrete... i enjoy the sound, but in truth i find this seductively backward idea to be quite frightening

If there really is a 12d thats easier than a 12a then why waste my time with all the 12a's? I could just go rack up the points for that 12d by onsighting it, right pigsteak?

Papa Love Jugs - guidebook says 11.D. Felt about right, maybe soft 12 after I broke off one of the crux holds. Either way, stellar route, candidate for ATF.

11d has better routes than 12a.

Yeah, it seems that there are more 4 and 5 star 11d's.

I think there is a way to do Papa w/o the broken off undercling that is still 11d. if you are chasing numbers, get on Magnum Opus, its 12b in the guide but more like 11d+/12a with multiple sit down rests and its mostly 10c
Sand inhibits the production of toughtosterone, so get it out and send.

Far From God is soft for 12b, might be soft for 12a if you use all the rests, really nice route though.
