clean up to the roof. took to figure out the roof. took at the next couple of bolts, tired from the day before. fell right before the shelf. then got through the shelf, rested in the ledge and got the next two bolts clean. cleaning this was not fun, hit the tree very hard.

fun
1st try 9/7/09, hanigng on every bolt after the roof
2nd try 9/13/09. Much better, 2 hangs, figured out the hands-free rests. Duh, when the shelves are not full of liquid mud, foot jamming works much better. Still can't figure out the good way to pull the roof. Everyone I've seen on it is able to keep the foot on the shelf below while reaching the pockets above the roof. I can't reach the same pockets without cutting feet, so I need to figure out something else.

GARGH!
No onsight. I guess that's what I get for trying to warm upon it on four hours of sleep. Best of its grade at the RRG?
