Is this 'point out the obvious' thread? : )

How about a line up for several more...Mark Hudon's is close to #1 if you actually read the report.

Cool, down to earth, and funny report about a bad-ass climb:

That can't be at all the best TR of 2012.

Put some climbers in a location with awesome climb in background.

Put naked boob girl in foreground.

Watch eyeballs.

It seems that they are way more attracted to boobs ......

I enjoyed and appreciated every single TR I read this year. So, thanks to everyone who posted.

The TR that most blew me away, I think:

I also have to say that Roadies Conness and Squamish solo trs should get a special award for the best all text TRs ever

As awe inspiring as Superbalance is, I liked a more "doable" outing:

Best is a tough thing to define, maybe favourite would be a better idea. I don't know if it was ever deemed complete but i think it's obvious that kid comer's Muir TR kept us all entertained for quite a while there & had all the great elements for armchair climbing & debate. Drama, epics, photos, climbing, many comments & rants, & even a rescue. Definitely most views & comments i have seen on a TR.

http://www.supertopo.com/tr/The-Kid-Flunks-Grade-VI-Photo-Essay/t11756n.html


Rapping the nose was a good one too although not technically a TR


Some other favourites: I liked Tad's return to climbing TR & many Pellucid Wombat & Vitaliy Tr's as well. Big Mike's real time going back to Cali Tr was fun too. Pullharder crew had some awesome winter ascent TR's in early 2012 that were sick! Evolution traverse in winter!? Noriko's TR's are few but pack more sierra climbing in than most do in years. Mark Hudon's are out of this world & obviously Micronut & DMT or anyone else who has ever taken the time to share a TR. Thanks.


All Tr's are awesome, my favourite thing about ST

edit - Yes Roadie's TR's holy sh#t !

Something's been bugging me about superbalanced, I just read it for the first time but the story seemed erily similar to something else I read a couple months ago.

http://www.supertopo.com/tr/The-Reward/t11764n.html

I just figured it out. Gotta go back and read them together!!

After rereading it last night and bawling my eyes out, I have to say Damn This Looks High's TR about his multi-year journey to climb the Half Dome cables with his non-verbal autistic son was one of my favorite pieces of climbing writing ever.
