Oh wow! I'm really sorry that I missed that; but on the other hand it was for a good reason (I spent that day FINISHING THE DAMN BOOK DAMMIT, which was getting moderately urgent). Another time...
I have glee because I went climbing twice, and I defeated a V2 which I was struggling with mostly because I didn't have the nerve rather than for technical whatsit. (The pink one on the slab with the bridging.) It was especially pleasing because of *how* I defeated it; I spent about 5 min up there trying a similar move but with my feet on slightly different (easier) holds, to convince myself that I could do it. Still had to count myself in to get through it :) (and then struggled with it *again* on Friday -- it still just feels hard! will keep going...)
Also I solved another V2 (green one on the near corner of the overhang wall in the front) with a bit of hanging around up there & trying things.
Could not, however, get anywhere *near* the allegedly V2 routes in the new front room which I believe were set for the competition... :)
