I went this morning & it was SO MUCH FUN! I *very nearly* flashed the yellow 6b on the Roof (missed one move; went back and made it on the third go, but then didn't have the strength to start all over again so I will have to do it next time). And *did* flash 3 of the V2 problems, which made me inordinately happy (if slightly suspicious -- has a week off actually made me *better*?[0]). And it's all just so cool and shiny and awesome!
I love the topping-out finishes. And the traverse is clearly good for the endurance -- like you, I hopped happily round the easy one thinking "hah, I can do this no bother!" & then got weary arms with a quarter still to go... (I made it though!). Didn't look at the medium one (another time...).
There were another couple of women there this morning who were also I think exploring for the first time. "It's just like being a kid," one of them said, halfway up one of the overhanging V3s. "Yeah, I don't want to go to work now," the other one said. "I just want to stay here & play!". HELL YES.
in summary: WHEEEEEE! more climbing plz :)
[0] Actually this is entirely possible; I went 4 times the week before, & was clearly a bit weary and had a twingy knee so gave it a rest last week, and it may actually have paid off.
