I think these 2 are eliminates and if I remember right I think the starting holds have broken on one of them.

I climbed Honey I Shrunk the Kids from a very low start (right at the back under the low roof). There's a tricky move to come out and get established with a bit of a lunge for the good break. It wasn't clear to me whether the holds near the very left edge of the wall at about waist or chest height were in. They are often chalked, so I used them, which made the problem pretty soft for V8/7B. I couldn't see how to do it without this hold.

I've not done the other problem (thought I know which you mean).
