V4 HRWAHT Boulder 3m Very Good
Repeat, quite fun, took many attempts to remember how to un-weight the toe without cutting

Smoke Cave
V1 The Kids are Restless Boulder 3m
Nice enough climb, avoids most of the cave's dankness being on the lip, although the holds accumulate a bit of mud after heavy rain

 
V7 Black Hole Boulder
Did the first few moves on this which were nice

 
V4 Burning Down the House Boulder 3m
Sent this after a few attempts, almost falling off near the top due to a loud passing train horn making me laugh. Took significantly more attempts to climb this again later trying to show someone beta, every single time going left hand to hold before the cave lip

 
V7 Nightmoves Boulder 4m
Could do the first few moves using the very low footer, but apparently isn't in which makes the move feel vastly harder. The first hold you go to has quite a bit of water seeping around it - probably still climbable but makes for wet hands if you miss the hold

V5 Broken Slot Machine (BSM) - with Val Boulder 3m
Seems.. almost impossible at this point, although we spent a while trying to work out which hold was which and likely have gotten mixed up. Barely tried anything other than the start which on first glance seemed more V8'ish that 5..

 
V4 Wolf Howl - with Val Boulder 3m
Rest of climb felt easy (especially compared to last time), just couldn't stick last right hand move, so.. worked out way to stubbornly static it with a kneebar/legscum. Although skipped a hold on middle of climb and maybe used RH from easier variant this time, I'm calling this done. Really nice climb.

V2 The Enforcer - with jay wilson Boulder 3m
Gave it a few attempts before somehiw cutting my palm. Seemed very hard for a V2

 
V4 Wolf Howl - with jay wilson Boulder 3m
Still can't do the last move. Played around with right dropknee which kind of helps

 
V4 HRWAHT - with jay wilson Boulder 3m
Did from vauge memory, wasn't sure about start or end holds.. so incorrectly started as for heel right and finished on the Wolf left hand. Also suspicous that I didn't need to dyno the middle move (just putting all my weight in the heel hook and stretched), so maybe entirely wrong?

 
V1 Heel Right - with jay wilson Boulder 3m
V3 HRNH - with jay wilson Boulder 3m
Good climb, tricky not undershooting the right hand bump. Seems simikar difficultly to Howl Wolf (accounting for my inability to do the big last move on Howl)

V4 Wolf Howl Boulder 3m
Good climb. Worked out start, just need to work on the last two moves (big move to blind jug, and to last hold)

 
V1 Heel Right Boulder 3m
Fun
