First 12

I thought that was to find out what type you are as opposed to knowing where you've been.

I dunno why I've got my eyes on a 12. Part of it is my fear that I'll get over my head on some 11. I figure that if I can send at least one 12 I can probably make it up most 11s. I guess I'm a number chaser, too. Maybe I should just focus on sending a bunch of 10's next weekend except for Bandolier.

You are afraid of getting in over your head?

Dude! Change your focus to having fun and the grade will come!

Yea man, take on all of the 5.11 routes. There are a shit load to do and some of them will challenge you more than the 5.12 routes. Soon you'll be climbing 5.12 with minimal effort because you have such an incredible base.

Take these last two posts to heart. Them's good words.

definitely don't skip all the awesome 5.11's that the Red has to offer, no better way to get ready for the 5.12's. Sending Wild Yet Tasty and then getting bouted on Return of Chrys Snyder or something won't do wonders for your mental game either. Besides, telling people you've sent the softest .11a, 12a, 13a, etc... won't really get much respect rather just make you appear to be a number chaser. Have fun, build your endurance, most every route has something to offer to your bag of tricks---

2. Although not much longer, mine list looks a little different from yours.

1. Glad to hear you got spanked, even if it wasn't by me.

2. I'm not sure what to make of this. I may never be able to look you in the eye if yours is bigger than mine.

dude dont listen to them, just go get on the hardest shit at the load, everything has draws, so you will never get in over your head. Its easy just climb whatever without knowing the grade and if you get your ass handed to you then back off of it with no worries. dont be a fuckin pussy just go for it

Skybridge Ridge. Soul Ram, Dave the Dude, What's Right with the Underling, Out on a Limb, Commencement, The Rifleman, Corpus Delicti. Well bolted routes and easy for the grade. Especially Out On a Limb.
