Can't do 3

Jess, myself, and newcomer Nikita headed to BKB last night. The back was actually less crowded than usual. It was a return for Jess and I after a period of not climbing much. We first did a 1, 2, 3, and 3 (all in the back). Nikita first did a 0 and a 1.

Hess and I then worked a purple 4 with an awkward start that moves sideways quite a bit. I thought it was a nice problem. We also worked an orange 4 with an bizarre start as well. I also did a pink overhanging 4. Then I worked a 6 (could not make it past move #2).

Nikita patiently worked on a yellow 2. Making small improvements on every try. When we decided to move to a different section, he had figured out at least half of the moves, maybe more. We then went to the small section before the beast.

Jess and I worked on two 3s. The second one Jess worked until the end of the evening (the last move was giving her a hard time). I also did a 5- with a crazy dyno at the end (it turns out you could do it statically). After that I worked a 6 that turned out to be too much for me. Nikita found another 2 which he worked until the end. He tried various sequences, but his hands were just too tired.

To finish the evening we headed to the Sheep Station for food and beers. We each ordered a poutine but disaster struck: they only had cheese for 1. Dang. We had to share.

Did they forget the cheese, or did they actually run out?

Run out!
