Silly question about riding uphill

[indysteel]

That was a fun drill, I was just trying to start the bike So far I've simply been able to ride over the uphill roots on Limekiln - though am walking the steepest little bits there since they also tend to be rocky...

The uphill bits on Limekiln aren't nearly as steep or as rooty as the section on the Connector I'm referring to. It's a pretty steep climb, so your speed is already slow enough to trip you up over the roots. Add in having to unweight your front wheel as you climb, and it's tough. I can't think of any section on Limekiln that bothers me as much.
