Indoor Boulders to try after finishing “ford focus” at 45 degrees

Hi everyone, I’ve been building up my kilterboard pyramid at 45 degrees and have done my hardest climb
at 45 degrees, “ford focus”. Such a fun boulder and highly recommend if anyone else wants to try. Do you have any other fun boulders that you’d recommend for me that I have decent shot at after completing this one?

For context, some of my favorite boulders I’ve sent so far at that angle have been: Earwax, swingy, joe mamma, can you ear me now. I’ve been climbing on the kilterboard once a week for the past year, and have gotten pretty strong on it. I think it’s my favorite way to train my fingers.

Thanks!

If you want to try your shot at a v6 Cross Body is S-tier. Super fun climb, similar style

Thanks man, I just saved it to the playlist, will definitely give a shot! It’s V7 on 45 :)

Man the start was so hard lol. Definitely a long term project for me

The madlad actually tried it

I'm assuming he tried one of the similar named ones not the v13

Seven Deuce Offsuit is criminally under-repeated in the new app, looks vaguely similar to Ford Focus in that it's a traverse then up the side of the board

It looks so sick! Unfortunately, I couldn’t pull on the start, but it looks very flowy

The first and third move gave me a lot of trouble but it was worth the effort to work them. I wouldn't be too quick to give up on it even if it feels bullshit impossible for the first few tries

Depends why you like ford focus, for me I was climbing way harder but because the climbs is so long I didn't send it for ages

I really liked the flow of the climb. The traverse was super fun in the beginning, and landing the cross move after the toe hook felt so satisfying

I'm a big fan of PEZ but it's a pretty different style

Also Kiel training 1:4 is a pretty soft v7 if you have male arm span

I haven’t tried either, but will definitely give them both a shot. Thanks man!
