> There were a few boulders I wanted to include on this list but had their quality impacted by us using too many high profile holds around them

Another argument for more problems with micros!

I think the Blue V4 on the new slab set is a particularly fun easier problem: a little puzzly, varied movement, and overall completely logical.

I think you’ll be seeing a more micro/macro balance in the coming weeks!

if the white V7 on the 45 isn't a crimpy trainer climb then what the heck am I doing wrong.

I enjoyed the yellow v2 with the dualtex crimps on the vert wall last set

maggie's pink v6 was awesome but did make me wonder why it didn't feel like the style of LIC climbs, now I know!

I'd like to add the white V7 on the 45 to the list of Good Trainer Climbs Obstructed By High Profile Holds. It was one of a few climbs I knew to be within my range, but not when navigating around giant holds negated whatever span I have. For me, much of the current sets are fun in theory but demoralizing in practice.

if only high profile hold obstruction was the reason I can't hang onto those savage last three crimps...

A keen eye on Pink!

We could use a few more climbs like the white. I think the v6-v8 range is where we begin taking a lot of creative liberties, just need to dial it back a touch.
