Routes as sport in Grassi Lakes

First pitch is 10/D. Bouldery moves out the left side of the bulge lead to a rest in a scoop before the anchor.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Grassi lakes test piece a v8 Boulder problem.

Steep climbing for 10.B is always a blast. Enjoy the v0-v1 bouldery start to fun varied climbing.

First pitch is 5.9 to the mid way anchors. Steeper 5.10 business lies above

A techy slab with sloped holds gains some beauty pockets on great stone under the roof. Crank the roof on buckets to a fun finish.

Follow a bolt line left of a right facing corner. From the ledge continue up solid stone to a sinker mono which is the crux. Nice face climbing

A v1 Boulder problem to begin into a cool pocketed roof crux.

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

Up the ante to a Boulder problem which leads directly into the classic A Bold New Plan.

The continuation of A Bold New Plan

Traverse the lip with a hard boulder problem on fingery holds. The steep redpoint Crux gains a pretty wild position!

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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

Steep climbing on huge buckets over the big bulge with a few big moves. Sustained pumpy climbing to the anchors! Total endurance

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!

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

Branch left at the midway anchor of Memphis.

Ridiculously fun climbing on amazing pockets ends at a Boulder problem on the roof starting with the bucket undercling. Crank it to easier ground above.

Sustained climbing with a few mini cruxes on great holds all the way to the anchors.

2 great cruxes on small pockets separated by pumpy fun climbing.

Far right of wall. Begins on right-trending ramp, climbing on cool pockets to a powerful crux on sidepulls. New retrofit with all new glue in's (Greg Tos 2016).

Shares anchor with Lumpy Lane.

Shares anchor with Holes to Heaven.

Route left of the crack in the corner, finishes a bit higher than the routes to the left.

First route that starts down-and-right of the main platform form Gardener's Wall.

The crux is very committing, but make sure to leave something in the tank for the last few crimpy holds to gain the anchor.

Sustained Technical climbing on thin pockets most of the way. A no hands rest on the ledge halfway!

Enjoy positive flakes and a fun roof. Nice position and climbing.

Technical face climbing on super cool pockets. Fun

Fun climbing down low leads to a "Party" ledge. (Big enough to hold a party). Big moves on big holds climbs the left side of "the diamond" with a sensational finish.

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!

This short but steep route has 2 Boulder problems (cruxes) of different flavours separated by a no hands rest.

To the right of the 10A.

All the hangers have been removed.
