A bouldering game:

http://www.escalademag.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=90&Itemid=73

Left and right arrows for left and right hands. Up arrow to match hands. Hammer space bar to dyno (though you don't need it till the last level)

All about remembering the right sequence. That and having nothing better to do...

The V7 was nailed in 25 goes, it was the V5 in 74 that was appalling.  A fair reflection of my own climbing me thinks.

Pah!  My V5 took nearly 130!

If the V7 is V7 then the V5 is V9 or 10.

I think the trick is not to hammer the space bar too much and just press it once then your direction then space and so on.  (And not be stoned)

Yeah I struggled on the V5. People underestimate the technicalities of overhanging rock. This V5 only succumbs to a very strange sequence, but I do think it's only V5. Once you've done it it's pretty easy. None of the individual moves are that hard.

As for the V7, well yeah I found it easier too, but it's just a dyno, they are always hard to grade...

Oh dear oh dear oh dear.  :oops:

Besides - look at what they give you to work with, some kind of dumpy guy that looks like he was born feet-first!

With that facial hair, the guy is obviously a mountaineer!

What's the beta for having matched after the weird moves on the V5?

For the V5:  Match - having done the 3 right hand moves, then L R L R L R Match.  OK?

For the dyno on the V7 - strike the space bars loads (like you were tapping out morse code) then when it gets to 10 press L or R to top out.

hit the spacebar lots of times very fast in a style reminiscent of arcade games from the 1980's
