Quick bouldering session at BKB with Begonia and Eric today. Mostly worked in the V3-V5 range, grip strength felt pretty good early but the lack of endurance stamina showed by the end of the night. V3s felt good, some V4s were doable, and I managed to flash a short vertical V5 - the rating is pretty variable from climb to climb, and difficulties within a grade tend to fluctuate there. Good routes though, and they're actively rotating new climbs in. Eric worked mostly V3s, but managed to send a nifty little vertical V4 (purple) near the front with thin feet and balancey moves at the start, finishing with a big throw from a good hold to the top. Worked the steep walls in the back for a while, but it was hard to climb anything harder than a V3.

I stacked on 5 V2s and then got stuck on 5 V3s (only ranging from getting the first move to the second to last) before finishing on finishing a V4. Not bad bouldering for me, but I clearly need to do it more--my forearms are still recovering and I need to work on my technique.
