So I decided to start training with slopers since I jarred my finger the other day by punching a hold.... yes... that's a good story....
Anyway, my university has pretty neat-o bouldering walls and I quite enjoy the holds on them - they're pretty difficult problems in general and the yellows seem to be pretty tough - I have a tough time doing any of them (having said that I'm not super great anyway).
So since it hurt a little bit to crimp, I decided that my project when I'm bouldering at uni would be this sloper puzzle I decided to just junk together myself. The green climb (all slopers) only has four or five moves, but it's too difficult; and the red is out of my reach, so I thought if I combined a few of the moves on these climbs it'd be pretty awesome. Videos to come soon.
Anyway - two photos; the original photo of the bouldering wall, and another one which I drew my route out :D I should've probably added that I'm trying to use only the footholds of that colour but it's outright impossible, and the videos will show that I'm already pretty pumped by the time I got round to it. Also a small note, the wall's inclined by about 10 degrees so it's not the easiest thing in the world.
Loads of fun nonetheless.

| Route added on this one; start L on green, R on the orange next to it. L goes to the yellow, both hands on yellow, push feet up and then attempt to get onto next orange, then the one above. |
