[Hide Comment] Gave this a go today. It definitely has some fun atypical pinnacles moments on it. Unfortunately I got shut down pretty hard at the crux in this photo.
The crux. Truth or Consequences 12a.

[Hide Comment] How do you get past that pocket? I can get to the pocket. It seems like I have to crank on it and go straight up somehow or match the pocket (monos) and go further right. Jan 29, 2016

[Hide Comment] Tony- I was able reach left up to a very sloppy U shaped dish, then right hand up to an in cut crimper stone. right foot is a high orange ledge that I was able to push up on. Jan 31, 2016

[Hide Comment] Man, I haven't thought about this route for years... This was the closest I ever came to leading a 12a. I stuck the crux move, and the hold broke, creating the pocket you all love so much. Such a classic Pinns experience! Dec 23, 2016
