The forest roads are finally starting to open. I went to Cherry Canyon yesterday with Pat. I thought the waiting game was over but apparently not.
Devastation under Dain's Bulge.
We found a lake under Dain's Bulge. Fortunately there are other boulder problems in the canyon. I finished the Rapture which climbs a cool roof/bulge feature with double toe hooks. The bouldering in Cherry Canyon is difficult to say the least. The boulder problems here are hard. This is the first boulder problem that I have topped out in the canyon other than the inadequate "warm-ups." Topping out a boulder problem in Cherry Canyon is hard, many of the problems are on par with difficulty similar to Serves You Right. Cherry Canyon reminds me of a more difficult version of Roger's Park in Central Texas. The bouldering is on tall limestone cliffs, and the woods are dense.

My truck hit 200,000 miles on the way to Cherry Canyon. I bought the truck five and a half years ago with 94ish thousand miles.
That's a lot of miles (read rock climbing).
We're still waiting for the anticipated opening of Woody Mtn Rd so we can get back to the Choss Roof.
