Seeing that this route is now 12+ makes me feel a little better. I flailed for so long on the boulder problems crux. It's short, but the movement is good. It would be a burly lead (did it on TR).

when i did the probable fa on tr i rated it 5.11d/5.12a and called it Polaris after a megadeath song and because it is white like polar ice. then Jordy bolted it for lead and cleaned a few loose holds making it harder - more like 5.12a or b - and without knowing i had named it he gave it the name Bears Choice. it is not any harder than 5.12b at most. i just did it a few years ago and unless something else has broken then i have no idea how it got the 5.12+ rating. if any route on the bear is close to 5.12+ it is Jason and the Agronauts 5.12c ish. if it is that hard now then shit im psyched to do it again!
