Updated: Ute Pass
On Friday, Byron, Brian, Than and I met up at Ute Pass to get a short afternoon session in. The weather had temporarily turned cold, and between snow flurries, we got some great climbing in. After two years without trying it, Byron did Bloody Arete Stand (V8) first go without warming up. Despite the sit move being left arm intensive, I convinced Byron to try it. He only gave it two goes but came very, very close to sticking the move. Next, we headed over to The Gusher (V11). I sent this one two years ago but was not able to pull a repeat off today. We then moved our attention to a line I put up to the right called Beyond the Clouds (V10) . I would say this is top three lines at the pass (along with Bloody Arete Sit and The Green Lantern) but despite this, it has not seen a second ascent from the sit. We worked it for a while and out of no where Than pulled off the third ascent of the stand, Above the Cloud (V7). Below is a video of the days happenings.
