The Squamish .12a? Some friends just did the first four pitches of that thing a few weeks ago. They said the .11c roof was wicked hard, and were pretty spanked by the time they got to the end of Alaska Highway. All they could do was gape at the next two pitches (the second of which is "The Calling"). "The next level" was what one of them said. They couldn't imagine doing the full-on .11d "approach", then the long and strenuous .11d layback, and then another 5 pitches (including the .12a crux at pitch 8)....
