Luckily the boulders are on a south facing slope, so the conditions where about perfect.My target was to climb the sit start to a problem called Hanuman. And really to climb it and not to "work on it". I had done all the moves on earlier visits and climbed the stand start version. It had took a couple of visits to find "the right moves", but this clip helped a lot. But now I had managed to lost all the moves to the sit start. I could find them after a while, but getting tired I realized that I had to change my target for the day. So I decided to refresh my memory on the stand start and do it for the video.
When I had done the stand start for the first time it had felt even a bit soft for a 7B. Took only a couple of tries with the "right moves". But now, well, you can probably see the frustration on the clip when I start to realize that it will be no go for that day and the weather forecast was looking bad for the next n days.
Encouraged by the weather finding on Saturday, I decided to go try it again on Sunday. I left already when it was still raining (water) at where I live. The gamble with the weather really paid off this time.
The weather was nice and with some study of the clip mentioned earlier, I had realized that I was using wrong foot hold(s, I tried several) on Saturday. For me it was about putting the right foot more to the left, so you are more under the hold and you can get the hook to hold easier.
Anyways below is the clip. Watch out for some bad language. I will try to cut it down. I promise.
You can find the original in .mov here. It is better quality than the embedded ones, but its 1900x and around 190megs. If the link stops working as I suspect, you can find it in the lower right part of the Vimeo page.
