What about Pink Feat? First freed in '83, originally graded 12a R. Now, it sports a rating of 11d in the online guide listing, but the grade consensus vote shows 12a.
I have a VHS somewhere that shows Tom working on the FA, clad in spandex, toting the 3 smallest cams they made at that time, stuffing tri-cams in pockets. Hexes swinging to and fro. Hall and Oates was coming out of the boom-box... look out boy, she'll chew you up, she's a maneater! Or maybe she was hungry like the wolf? either way...
