Escaping to higher ground in the aftermath of the epic flooding around Boulder, CO, Dave Graham and Jimmy Webb have made a couple of notable ascents.

Dave made the third ascent, after Jimmy and Daniel Woods, of The wheel of Wolvo, ~8C, commenting on instagram:

After battling with the rig during heinous conditions over the past few weeks, fall has finally arrived and temps were perfect today!

Meanwhile on the same mountain, Mt Evans that is, Jimmy Webb made the 4th ascent of The Ice knife, ~8C, one of Graham's creations.
The problem has previously seen repeats by Daniel Woods and Paul Robinson i.e the usual suspects.

James Webb is sponsored by: prAna, Sterling Rope, Tennessee Bouldering Authority, Five Ten, Organic and Metolius.

In this case "the rig" means "the problem".

The rig/his/her rig is undoubtedly the finest piece of climbing jargon to arrive in recent years. Should hasten to add it is favoured by our cousins over the pond. "I sent my rig" translates roughly to "I say old boy, we had a spiffing and successfull adventure on the steeply inclined geological curiousity today". Innit like.
