In looking at the mentz, tempest guide to araiples and the link posted http://www.natimuk.com/arapiles.net/boulder__3.html ( _2, _1) I am wondering a few things.
1, the link says Sooty is a project, I gather that means it is yet to be finished, so how do you know if you have got the finish on it correct?
2, there is a lot of problems that don't seem to have names is there a particular reason for this ?
3, If I start a project, how many moves in the sequence are you supposed to have ? and... then attaching a name to project/problem is there some protocol which needs to be followed?
I know it seems I am getting ahead of myself, I don't think I will be trailing a blaze of glory at araps. But I am interested to understand the inner workings if you like of how it all comes together.
thanks

postcript:
an example for my already long winded post.
Camels, Chockstone gathering,
Up a little from Grey Arete, and down a little from Split Images, I found a likely target.
a seated start left foot edge, right foot small nubbin(?), hands in a thin crack , pull up to a kind of standing position, right hand to a 2 finger pocket , left crosses over to a good edge ( a little sharp though), lean to the right, right hand side pull on a shallow edge, right foot smear in a shallow depression, left hand crosses high to lip/jug, left foot flags to pocket, match hands and feet, then right foot jams crack, lean again to right and reach around to to a good Jug(?), then to finish pull yourself around and get left foot in the same crack, (left hand can be free) and then drop down...done
I played with sequence for around an hour.... it was pretty cool, no idea how hard it would be in terms of grade....

now how would I apply this to questions above naming, grading, is this a real project/ problem
thanks again
