Does the stand exist if it was done after the sit?

Eddie Fowke has asked the question on his Insta where many celebs give their view. Personally I think you can do just as you want, including also adding a squat (in the middle), which would mean you would have to add both a name and a grade to your FA creation. Climbing is about challenging yourselves as much as possible. On the other hand, when it comes to making and drawing official topos, the focus should be on quality rather than creating several variations of a boulder. If it is just for the grade and just one or two moves are added, possibly no added sit or stand variation is needed. The Wheel of Life 9a/8C? seems to have several different graded/named sections. So back to an answer to the question in the headline. Sure, it exists but possible it has no merit to the topo if it not adds a nice high-quality challenge.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
