Went to BKB with Jess: V1, V2, 3xV3, 2xV4 for me; Jess did V1, V2, followed by a few V3s. All new problems in the front.

My favorite problem however was a pink V6 that I worked at the end of the night. Its long, traverses right to left, and even involve a little downclimbing (all things I typically dislike). From small hands you move to a big ledge with a shallow lip on which you match. Then go far with your left hand to grab a small crimp. Right hand then moves on top of a huge brain. Match on the brain, then cross your right hand on the crimp (which is under and to the left of the brain). Move your left hand down and to the left to grab a big circular piece. Move your body down on small feet. Bring your right hand to the circular piece. Stay low in order not to pop off, then start going up (3 pieces and the top). I made it to the next to last hold but had no juice left.
