Ascents in Hobotown

Grade feels about right in its present state. Gave it a decent clean but remaining holds are still a bit suss.

Cool big holds but the moves are actually quite hard and tensiony unless I missed something obvious. Felt harder to me than Mandoline.

So many options for hands and feet up the top just nerve racking thinking some of them will definitely go

Awkward squat/stand to test the rest. It would be absolutely immense to do it from the sit, not just hard but pretty far beyond that. Probably doable by someone out there.

I like these features. Sit feels like the crux. Did it from a squat and from the stand with an easy mantle but nothing of note. Rock quality is lacking for now but when another 20 features explode maybe it'll sculpt up.

Back with pads and brushes. I can see this maybe going but it's just really meh in my opinion. Lil cap is very good quality but this boulder is less interesting. Flake at base for the sit is about to explode, and the weird crimps aren't good features -- my honest opinion. Maybe around V3/4 for the crux. Holds exploding every moment

Cleaned as much as I could but it would take a crew and some safe amount of pads. Will go but I'd rather spend time elsewhere with nicer rock.

Just messing around barefoot and no gear. Sit start and half-way up before realising I'm stoopid. Feels maybe v1-2. I think this is the only problem with nice features on this boulder -- the rest is really chossy and a little meh.

Great problem, nice moves on good quality rock. Make sure to give the top a brush before jumping on and pad the rock in the landing zone.

Whoever graded this V0 is either a slab wizard or can float. A great technical slab with a big move to finish. More like V3 though I think.
