Today Gatzke, Byron, Ander, and myself headed up to Elevenmile Canyon to do some rock climbing. There we met Scott, Justin, Rylan, Kevin, and Thomas. We all convened at the Spray Wall where a session had begun on Scott's Anger Management. Justin came close,f alling on the tensiony move multiple times. Chris and I headed up canyon to do a little bouldering while the rest attempted some routes. Chris made quick work of Smoke Signals (V7 or 8) and I was able to finish off Chill Style left. I think this is the first ascent since this problem broke and it is probably around V8 or 9 now. Unfortunately, the Denver crew had a different series of climbing spots to go to and we passed them all on our way back to the Spray Wall. Scott came very very close to his project. Which is a direct version of Rapture. Consider it a V6 to a V9 to a 5.13a. Next we headed to Scalius, which I was able to do all the moves on quickly and put it into two or three pieces. Psyched to return for it, the problem was better than I was expecting. Below are three shots of Ander on Rapture (5.13a) and then one on Scalius V9 or 10.

how did ander do on spew?
he cut a hand flapper grabbing for the jug after the first boulder problem crux and due to being right in the center of his palm he could not tape or stop the bleeding and had to stop on spew for the day. he did do all the moves on rapture after that thought and is returning tomorrow to attempt again.
