Pink feat at military for sure, its 11d but a lil sandbagged. great intro for the grade though

sizing up the red's 12a's is objectifying and belittling. they must be honored and respected. to discuss them publicly is group pornography. cease immediately.

however, you will not have climbed a 12a in the red until cleanly leading

Especially if you're looking for an 11c.

Agreed on Pine.

Too Many Puppies might be the best of the lot... but Twinkie is pretty good.

There are soooo many great routes in the 11+/12- range, just pick a style you like or a pretty route and have some fun.

yeah, depends on your style...

if you are good at endurance and headed to the lode, get straight on ale 8.... very good route
check out the solarium as well. although grades could be debated all day, there are lots of 12s at that wall, and you're bound to find something you like...

Expresso is the only 12 i've done. if you're a boulderer with no endurance it's for you.
