so i was at Hueco this past weekend up by Mammary Lane and as i went up the slab to pee i saw this wonderful line with absolutely no chalk on it. it isn't in the (new) guidebook, it's overhung, so i doubt rain washed it off. i proceeded to pull over my pads, send it (couple tries, called it V2), and name it. then just a little north of that were 3 lines, also appearing to be untouched. so i went and climbed them too, all easy V0's, but fun.
anyway, before i claim them as "my" problems has anyone on here ever climbed these? i'm not one who really cares about the recognition of establishing a problem, but i don't want to step on anyone's toes telling people i found some new stuff that wasn't really new.
and if i am the first person to climb them (i know hueco isn't totally used up yet) then i just wanted to let you guys know they were out there! the 0s are great if you have some beginners with you, good movement, but big holds, only problem is a somewhat shady landing. and the 2 is short and sweet, but worth the extra 30 ft up the slab if you are at Mammary Lane already!
here's a map, with my personal names for them. the green blobs are trees, all are on the south face (it's pretty obvious)

the V2, it's hard to get a good picture of the whole climb because of the tree. it starts on the sloper in the back (you can see the chalk) then moves out right, over the lip, and there is a clear line of 2-3 huecos to get out on. the bottom rock is off.

if anyone has seen these done before let me know what they really are, and if you happen to get on them then be sure to let me know what you think! (since at the moment i'm the only person i know to have done them)
