Will he pass the crux today?

I hope this isn't considered spamming, I think it's quite exciting being able to watch this live and see these posts as a PSA.

If unwanted we can also go for one thread with all the links or I just stop ...

I think there's still a strong TB1 crowd on here, so this one is for you:
I am usually winter-training on the TB1 and am focusing on doing all the classics in my grade-range (up to ~V5). Aside from the classics I find it quite hard to find boulders that are well-set and are consistent with the classics grading. I guess I should become better at setting my own problems, but for now I end up with variations of the same boulders and movements when I set my own boulders, limiting the training effect.

I tend to sort by repeats, but that naturally biases towards softer grading (I think). The remaining classics in my grade-range feel so hard that sometimes it's hard to stay motivated (somehow I don't enjoy projecting specific boulders over extended preiods of time on the TB1, which I mainly see as a training device - I guess it's simply nice to top a boulder from time to time).

I'd be happy if people would share their approach to finding boulders as well as hints to favourite boulders or setters to follow.
