I've looked at that thing, but Twinkie still seems to top the list for next year's projects, after I build a bit more of a base. I've been on Ro and agree that it's really soft for a former 12 and the bit of Wild I was on before I got hurt seemed the same way. Anybody think of any others that are a bit soft for the grade to work my way up with?

Hippocrite, Skin Flute, The Gift, Go Easy Billy Clyde, Till The Cows Come Home, Stay the Hand, etc.

Are you saying Stay the Hand is soft 12a?

I agree if Stay the Hand is soft 12a I'm truly hosed

I thought Stay the Hand was soft compared to BMT, but my strength is towards more bouldery stuff rather than endurance.

nothing harding than 12b(Wild Gift) at Roadside!

I always heard that Bare Metal Teen was a bit of a sandbag if anything. "The hardest 12a in the Red," if I recall.

Perhaps I was having a good day when I climbed Stay the Hand. I did think that Too Many Puppies was one of the harder 12a's that I've been on at the Red (and I was only cleaning it!).

That's a beautiful line.
