I spent my first overnight trip up north in a long time. The first day, I revisited Cherry Canyon for the first time this year and put in some effort to optimize my sequence on Truffle Shuffle as a solo-session. The climb is very tiring, though it does require a different style since it is very powerful and finger heavy, which is unlike the climbing at the draw. I then made the short trip over to the draw to climb with my friend Ben, who was on a trip from Minnesota, and his friends, Hannah and Lorenzo, both originally from Chicago. We ended up climbing a bit on the Bat Roof and he worked on Anorexic Sacrifice, while I did a few laps and attempted to repeat Carnivore Direct. Although they share the same rock type, the skin requirements and style of the climbing at Cherry Canyon is so different from that of the draw, it impresses me that people can go from one sector to another and still be able to adapt quickly to the differences.
The next day, I met up with Bobby and Trevor near Blue Ridge to climb at the Burrow and to clean away the remaining dirt and rock on the right side of the roof. I spent most of the time finishing up the initial digging and cleaning effort by Matt Gentile and Nick Quayle by digging away and cleaning out the right side of the roof, while Bobby got his first lap on Sectumsempra, and Trevor did both Seeker & Sectumsempra on his first visit to the roof. I was able to repeat Sectumsempra, and Bobby got his FA of Devil's Snare, the center line at Terrarium Roof. This roof is trippy, with huge huecos, which can be a bit fragile. The roof was named after the large amount of dirt and organic matter we had cleaned across several sessions.
