| Truth and Lies (8a) | Crux is more perplexing than Belechiks off season acquisitions. RIP to all the Justin Jefferson fantasy owners. |

| Guns 'n Posers (7a+) | Tried this back in 2006 and thought it had a shoulder tweaking move. This time around it felt good. |

| The 7 P.M. Show (8b+) | Amazing route with very unique rock and movement! Rob Candelaria bolted this route on lead and claimed the FA, naming it “Rapid Fire.” Rob told me he broke a hold and fell while clipping the chains on the first ascent, but I think deserves some credit. I used five kneebars, in poorer style than Rob and JB’s early ascents, it would be fun to try to repeat it without any one day! |

| Ricochet (7a+) | Wooooweeee, I was holding on hard to those crimps. I distracted myself when far away from my bolts by thinking about how badly Nadya has been crushing us at Catan. |

| Ricochet (7a+) | Favorite of the grade at Rifle (so far) is also the scariest and most NRG-like climb. Go figure. |

| Guns 'n Posers (7a+) | Last day early morning sesh with LP. Had to get proper beta for the 1st crux in the scoop. Going right was much easier with the standup finger undercling versus the balancy sloper layback out left. Still a few more moves on a left undercling stand up to hit the easier right terrain on the flat face. Traverse into the dihedral for some tricky technical 5.11 climbing in the corner. Marginal resting, then a final thin feet- thin crimp crux at the end. Would certainly thwart an OS attempt. Bomber stone. Should be climbed more. |
