Projects, Part 2 Big Swirly

Many of you may know of a mythical amazing boulder in Northern Minnesota, it is one of the best boulders I have EVER climbed on. The boulder has some of the best Granite/gneiss I have ever held. On one section of the boulder stands 2 perfect (perfect start, perfect rock, kinda tall, cool moves) projects on the best stone that the boulder holds.
The red line is around v11 maybe v12 and I got close to doing it until a key foothold broke.
the one in yellow is a super project, I have only done the sit moves into the crux and have not/could not come close to touching the crux moves, at least 8b if not 8b+ but amazing and will be the best problem in the Midwest when it is completed.
Side view, steep and big.. the boulder is maybe 25ft tall? You can see Kris in the upper left hand corner cleaning it of in 2008.
