I don't climb 5.12.
I've done a lot of fluff grade 12s, that I've since downgraded to 11+, though. It works pretty well for me.

Better to be a downgrader than a fluffer.

I've been climbing for 3 years now, but only starting training within in the last year. I'm still trying to break into that 5.12 relm as well. I couldn't come close on an 11d I wass trying yesturday. Some people just have a natural ability to climb hard I think and some people have the mentality to climb hard. 5.12 is certainly my ultimate goal, to be able to climb hard 5.12s. If your in shape and you want it, you can climb 5.12 it's that simple. that's what i've heard the most people said. and if you really want it you cna climb 5.13 and if you realy want it and you were born to climb than maybe 5.14
