Last year's discovery in the RMNP in Colorado, Wolverineland at Lincoln Lake high up on Mt Evans is now open again. Enough of the winter's snow is gone, although some is still providing some extra padding making the landings a bit safer in places.

Jimmy Webb and Brion Voges have probably been the most active with multiple hard ascents. If you're not into numbers, perhaps now is the time to quit reading.
Both have repeated We can build you, 8B+, Evil backwards, 8B/+, and Death trout, 8B. They've also done Flux for life, 8B, Carlo Traversi's addition to this year's "IT-area", Endo valley.
Jimmy has also made a quick repeat of Big worm, 8B+, and flashed Tattooed teardrops, ~8A+/B.

I suspect this is only the beginning and that we're going to hear a lot about these guys in the near future.
