5.11d | ★★ Coming Through Slaughter | 25m | |||
5.12a | ★★ Radio Flyer | 27m | |||
5.12a | ★★ Voice of Fire
First pitch is 10/D. Bouldery moves out the left side of the bulge lead to a rest in a scoop before the anchor. | 23m, 2, 11 | |||
5.12b | ★★ Le Nettoyeur
First pitch is 10.C/D climbing through two rotten pods with a sequencey crux. Bouldery moves lead out to the right of the second pitch of a bulge to a rest in the scoop with pumpy climbing to the anchors! | 27m, 2, 10 | |||
The Rectory | |||||
5.12b | ★ Two Different Worlds
The far left route of Rectory, that climbs through the blank looking high quality rock. A hard Boulder problem at bolt 2 gives way to easier climbing above. | 11m, 5 | |||
5.11c | ★★ Soft Machine
| 15m | |||
5.12a | ★★ Blood of Eden
Used to be one of Grassi's best. Sadly, many years of polish has made the crux (last two bolts) really really slippery. No ifs or buts, she's polished. Awesome jugs and crimps get you to a short rest before the crux, begin a battle on powerful sidepulls and gastons. | 15m | |||
5.12a | ★★ Cool Sensations
A few big holds and cool pockets get you off the ground before a thin and desperate Crux gains some pods. Shake out well before tackling the rest of this pumpy route. FA: Roger Chayer | 16m, 10 | |||
5.12a | ★★ Blunt
Climb cool sensations to the third bolt and traverse right to good pockets. Tackle the roof before gaining a good shake and a mad dash for the anchors. FA: Roger Chayer, 1996 | 16m, 8 | |||

White Imperialist, Right | |||||
5.11a | ★★★ A Bold New Plan
Doesn't get much better. Climb the striking arete's face on pocketed jugs with a cool flake feature through the middle. Good rests dictate the pump on the steep! Starts with a stick clip and a seriously fun Boulder problem down low. Absolutely classic FA: Sean Elliott, 1997 | 20m, 8 | |||
5.12a | ★★ A Bold New Plan Direct Start
Up the ante to a Boulder problem which leads directly into the classic A Bold New Plan. | 19m, 7 | |||
5.12a | ★★ Send berries
The continuation of A Bold New Plan | ||||
5.12c | ★★★ No Tickee No Laundry
Traverse the lip with a hard boulder problem on fingery holds. The steep redpoint Crux gains a pretty wild position! FA: Peter Arbic | ||||
5.12a | ★★★ Chinatown Left
An excellent sequential steep climb up the wave. Starts as Dance me outside but trends left straight away into a boulder then a good rest. Fire the steep upside down section to the anchor over the lip. Very good quality for Grassi! FA: Peter Arbic | 15m, 7 | |||
5.12b | Chinatown Right | 14m, 8 | |||
5.12a | ★★★ Dance Me Outside
One of the steepest at Grassi. Follow the right trending crack on new (2015) fixed draws. Crux is where the lower crack gains the upper. The last redpoint crux is a heart breaker dictated by the pump. Enjoy FA: Peter Arbic, 1997 | 20m, 10 | |||

Meathooks Area | |||||
5.10d | ★ Buckets from Hell
Furtherest left route. Short but packs an absolte punch. Watch the pockets get small on the traverse to 4th bolt. Same as meathooks but with a crux down lower. | 10m | |||
5.11a | ★★★ Meathooks
One of the most sort after 11's in the Bow Valley. Every hold is a jug with a few sequences gaining the lip and exiting it (crux). Ridiculously fun and pumpy! FA: Daren Tremaine, 1994 | 20m, 7 | |||
5.11b | ★★ Stormtroopers in Drag
A crimper-jug start followed with some of the biggest buckets imaginable. Big moves and body position will dictate success on the final lip. Crank it!! A step up from meathooks for sure. | 20m | |||
5.11c | ★★ Holey Shit
Climb the biggest buckets to a funky low powerful move over the bulge. A huge middle rest gets you prepared for an epic fight through sequential jugs over the steepest part. A big move gains, guess what? More buckets | 25m | |||
5.11d | ★★ The Harlot
Steep climbing on huge buckets over the big bulge with a few big moves. Sustained pumpy climbing to the anchors! Total endurance | 25m | |||
project | |||||
5.12a | ★★★ B60 OFO
The route is graded on pump, but the buckets do run out into smaller jugs in 2 sections. 30m's of constant overhanging steep powerful climbing. Pray for a low gravity day and that your arms don't explode! FA: Mark Whalen & Eric Hoogstraten, 2001 | 30m, 12 | |||
5.10c | Born from the Mountain
Obscurely steep for the grade. Maybe more like 11a? Who knows. Hardware is hard to locate but it comes out the right side of the cave. Body positioning is key on jugs the whole way. Pity it stinks like rat piss and half the cave is rat shit. Unpopular | 10m | |||

5.11a | ★ Cold Fusion | 22m, 8 | |||
5.11c | ★★★ Dakar
The crux is very committing, but make sure to leave something in the tank for the last few crimpy holds to gain the anchor. | 22m, 10 | |||
5.10d | ★ Silk P1
Sustained Technical climbing on thin pockets most of the way. A no hands rest on the ledge halfway! | 15m, 7 | |||

5.12a | ★★ Oh! That Thing
Up hill and right of The Main Swamp Boulder, is this route. You can view it perfectly from The Rectory. Its basically a harder, steeper, better quality of its 5.10 brothers. A Chossy Boulder problem begins, with a huge Rest in a massive Pod. Leaving the large Hueco feels thin and hard for sure. Enjoy the Boulder problem finish! FA: 2000 | 12m, 6 |
