Though access has become tricky, Ute Pass has a good assortment of fun lines. Brian Johnson and I spotted this line and had to play on it as a traverse. The full top out is yet to come, as the downclimb is maybe as difficult as the upper half pictured.

So then you must be a dirtbag climber, right? I’m a trust and estate attorney for a very small firm, so I do make a respectable living, though I need to keep a close watch on spending since my wife and I are living on my salary until she can sell some horses [she buys, trains, and sells Quarter Horses]. Once I pay my loans and bills each month, I come away with about the same as your average, non-trustafarian, college student. Regardless, I am fortunate to live in my own home and drive a car that runs.
