I personally think they are about the same, but Gung Ho is slightly harder

Most people think Gung Ho is harder.

not to bust your balls..but isn't that why we have a letter after the number to indicate 12b being slightly harder than 12a...

I agree tissue is a harder

I personally had an easier time with Gung Ho than Tissue. But then again, I tend to prefer crimpy cruxes.

um, Rhunt check out the online guide bro, they are both listed as .12b. Unless of course you're talking about the printed guide, then I guess you got a point.

The left hand sidepull in the crack at the crux broke many years back- it used to be easier.

The broken hold that makes this route harder is the clipping crimp just before the side pull. It used to be a finger bucket that you could match and shake on

I was on gung ho earlier this fall and was having trouble at the crux. I ended up taping up and using a left hand-jam in that pseudo-crack instead of using it as a sidepull and then cranking easily off of the jam up into that next crimp. I thought this made it feel about 19 times easier than Tissue Tiger.
