I can't imaging someone who can climb solid 5.12 face routes would be unable to cruise up a 5.10 or 5.11 crack route and place gear, unless their technique really sucked and mentally they really couldn't handle leading.

If you have bomber gear everywhere you want it yeah.... but how about if you have tricky routefinding on runout terrain? Should a 5.11 bolt clipper be able to pull down on a tricky pro, scary routefinding runout slab? I think there are a lot of variables here to consider.

I agree that the 5.11 bolt clipper like me can pull the 5.9 moves... but man it's freaking scary up there and the head game is waaaaaay different.

and yes I only lead at 5.8 trad... at best.

...I've also heard the argument that the Gunks is sports climbing (in terms of movement skills) with gear...

If that's what you really think about the Gunks, I've got some great route recommendations for you--if you ever head back that way. Cool
