fighting the pump on Twinkie 12a
This climb has it all. Starts off on a slab with some thin moves to get in position for the overhanging wall. Take a good rest then fire up the pockets, clipping as quick as you can. There is a ledge you can get a good rest at 2/3 of the way up the overhanging section. This was the very last climb I got on to end a 2 week climbing vacation out east. I got to the anchors but didn't get the redpoint. Did get worked though. Rematch someday. A classic endurance route.
