Dan Beland has sent Solid Gold 5.14c at Cathedral in Utah. In March, Beland sent Golden for a Moment 5.14b at the same crag.
After his Solid Gold send, he wrote, “The first day I stepped into Cathedral I saw this line and knew I wanted to at least try it. Here we are, a month later and it actually went down.
“It’s still hard to believe. Lots and lots of tries. The locals all seem to think this is probably the second ascent. Rad that Daniel Mirsky, who did the first ascent back in 2013 was there to see my send.
“It’s for sure one of the most amazing routes I’ve ever climbed.” Beland has ticked at least two other 5.14c sport routes, Supermanboy at Chek near Squamish and Stressful Day at the Office at Horne Lake.
