Jorgeson & Barret Take Down Spectre
After working out the moves last season both Kevin Jorgeson and Charlie Barrett returned to the Buttermilks to finish off Spectre (V13).

Bishop bouldering reported that Charlie had the moves on Spectre locked down last season but he was having trouble holding the massive swing found at the heart of the crux sequence.  However, with some new beta (contributed by Kevin Jorgeson) Barrett was able to make quick work of the massive block and pull through the crux and walk the high slab top out.  Kevin also sent the line, which he dubbed "the best line he has ever done!"

Earlier this week, Charlie managed to crank out the sit start to Mandala which clocks in at V13/V14.  Charlie used a new sequence which utilizes a tiny micro crimp to lean into the "big under cling" that marks the beginning of the Mandala.
