Chapel pond slab conditions?

Planning to climb next week. It will be my first time at Chapel Pond Slab. Anyone there recently can comment on the black fly situation? Anything to be aware of? I believe this area is not affected by peregrine closure.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I'm growing a little peach tree following Ann Ralph's book. I let my tree grow more vertically than intended. I'd like to prune some branches in the center and also from the top. I think it will promote lateral growth and channel energy into the remaining branches for fruit.

Is my reasoning sound? Or is there a good reason to not prune now and wait to summer solstice and winter as Ann Ralph writes in her book?

Thanks in advance!
