Knapping with the Alien (.12a) is one I'll be getting back on.

I wonder how many .12 sport pitches there actually are here?

1000? 2000?

I dont know but those St George 5.12s always made me feel really good about my climbing.

Not that I have lead it, but how about "Let 'er Buck" 12a in Donelly Canyon, Indian Creek. It is the ONLY pure sport climb in the creek that I know of. Put up before the bolt ban.

Speaking in Tongues at the Cathedral is one of my favorite routes anywhere!
