Sport Climbing on Twinkie (5.12a) at The Red River Gorge, KY

My eventual redpoint of Twinkie. 5 total attempts over 2 years, 3 on the day it was sent. It's not my longest, or hardest (by grade), or my first 12, but it's by far the most satisfying accomplishment I've pulled off climbing.
A lot of thanks the people mentioned in the end for belaying, training, and overall support.
And I apologize to Eric for the breathing comment in the beginning.

Congrats! My one buddy describes this climb as the complete adventure. Not just with the leading, but also with the cleaning.

I can see the 5.12a that's pretty steep and those bloody honeycombs aren't as easy as they look

nice send dude, really digging your videos.

[@timmybatan583]

Loved the "Are you ready?" Before the jug haul lol great send 👍

[@LukeRockCimber]

You need to work on your breathing :P

Looks like a 9

5.9 on a 5° overhang, 5.12 on a 50°. Not hard for the grade, but super fun, steep and satisfying. Its a v3 slab to 50’ of super steep jug hauling. Try climbing it before saying “looks kinda soft”

[@UltraFunOrb]

That is not 12a lol

ever been on it? it doesnt come across in the video but it is the steepest 12 in the red. 50 degrees overhanging in spots

[@ErikKloeker]

Was the steepest until Singularity www.redriverclimbing.com/RRCGuide/?type=route&id=3037 so good!

[@ryanwsu4]

I just sent singularity yesterday. Pumpy. Like solid V4/5 to an 11d, imo. Great route

[@RedX2276]

Check how steep the wall is. Notice the angle of the draws, and the angle at 8:49
