maybe b/c this thread is about 12a's and not 12b's
Sand inhibits the production of toughtosterone, so get it out and send.

Immaculate deception is a great 12a for a power climber lacking endurance. It has a low crux, followed by 80 ft of fun climbing seperated by rests. Twinkie is a great 12a that has no real crux, but just classic RRG endurance jug haul. Magnum Opus and Little Teapot are good 12a's that fit in between, more of power endurance styles.

Not that i've climbed it yet, but expresso over at the bowling alley in muir is supposed to be pretty easy to work out. Short(40 ft), the hard boulder problem is below the first bolt, so just bring a stick clip, the first bolt is pretty high.

Have to admit, I didnt think Expresso would make the list of the best 12 in the Red.
Can't we all just get along?

I think you wanted the easy 12a thread, not the good 12a thread
How you compare may not be as important as to whom you are compared
