I went back to Denham on Monday after a recent trip where I did nothing. I had noted a possible sit start to Hypno-Toad, but since I didn't get close to Hypno-Toad stand up I dismissed it last time.
This time I warmed up at the left end and managed to do R-Man's nice wall of Living Next Door To Acid (stand), so I thought I'd have another look at Hypno-Toad. It took ages to do the stand up, it's a weird move. The sitter adds one fairly OK move, but it's then harder to do the slap. I managed to link it after a good few goes. Very morpho, but I suggest 7a-ish for now. I then managed to do Snap Derision after not even managing to pull on last visit. It's about 7a now the broken hold has stabilised and is usable. When I did it originally, there was a crimp higher up and it was 7a+. When I snapped the crimp off, the sequence became harder and used a foul 2 finger sloper below the new hold (this is in the video below).
