Cherry Canyon







I finally made it back to Cherry Canyon, it only took me 10 months to get around to it. This place is really reminiscent of Roger's Park in Central Texas, with the great exception that everything here is hard. I'm psyched on the Dane's Big Bulge Wall, which has several hard problems and a few projects as good as anywhere. I climbed on 2 different climbs on this wall. One of the climbs starts under a small roof and climbs through a pocket to 2 crimps. From the crimps is a weird accuracy jump into a slot, and then easier moves to the top. The other climb starts under a roof and does a few easy moves to an undercling, hard slapping to crimps, and then a tall, proud finish. There are some videos on the Blurr website of Zach Lerner doing these climbs as well as another from Cherry, and a few climbs from the Draw. http://www.blurrstuff.com/

So, personally, I think Slot Machine is a good reference name for that problem at Cherry.
