So cool. Also did the variation without using the aretes, which is great and probably goes at v2 or V3?

Couldn't work out the start. Did the much easier variation starting from the small boulder

Possibly started on holds that were too high. Tricky big move to the right!

Had one go but didn't want to commit to the tricky high finish. Did the fun v1 variation to the right

V6 Easy Vector — 15 attempts Boulder 5m Good
Thibaut
Suits my style but probs not a benchmark 6. Approx. 15 attempts. Did a bit of cleaning but could still use a little more love.

V5 Easy Standing Clever Boulder 4m Very Good

Countless attempts but tried a lot of different beta, some of which was a waste of time. Slightlty easier than the sit, maybe a soft 5?

V5 ~V5 Heifer — 25 attempts Boulder 3m Very Good
Thibaut
Undoubtedly V5, for my height anyways. Great problem that starts off with some contact strength moves leading into some delicate, techy climbing. Approx. 20-30 attempts.

 
V5 Snorlax SS — 15 attempts Boulder 5m
Thibaut
Repeatedly unsending the stand while foolishly continuing to try the SS. Bouldering is a cruel mistress!

V3 or soft V4.

Chuffed to flash this, definitely not my style.
