International : Canada : ... : Grassi Lakes

Feb 8, 2007

<br />Grassi is a great place to escape summer heat waves. The trail from the dam down to Grassi Lakes is in the gully, center. The belay platforms for Meathooks can be seen in the shady alcove right of the lake. <br /><br />One problem unique to Grassi is the occasional rockfall. The Spray Lakes road is just above the meathooks wall and non-climbers will sometimes toss rocks.

THE CATHEDRAL at RATTLESNAKE<br />The route is Arabesque(.10a steep!). Draws to the left are on The Groove(.12a small pockets). Left again is Ikenseaor Crack(.11d). Perhaps meant to be said "I can soar" because the crux dyno out of the crack into a chimney/stem is a bit run. Top roping it, the fall looked uniquely horrifying but clean. The welded tuff is sharper than Smith yet worthy. Almost one hundred sport routes. Rattlesnake is four air miles west of Trail, Oregon, between Crater Lake and Medford. The book Rock Climbing Southwest Oregon by Greg Orton has great directions.

Tim Slater begins the crux of the Broadway Traverse, 8/05. We approached using running shoes and one axe. We first tried chopping steps up Lamb's, but that was way to much work. The moat was a grovel but more efficient.

View from under Sheer Stress of the belay zone in humid summer conditions. I was surprisd by the excellence of this crag, especially the 5.10 and 5.11 on the Red Wall. Close to the airport, Columbia River Gorge, and a bunch of skiable volcanoes too. Morning shade is best when the heat is on.

The zoom function might be needed to see the leader nearing the anchor on Labor of Love, 1999. The starting moves on The Line didn't feel much easier, but there sure were a lot of funky/scary flakes on the old classic. This route has a reputation for perfection that far exceeds the number of quality stars given.

Shifting to headpoint in the middle of a Model Worker redpoint. <br /><br />K Miller is about to clip an upside down knifeblade(left draw) and two opposed, brass, micro-nuts(right draw). This crux pro is all delicately slipped under a thin flake that eventually requires yarding on like the Incredible Hulk. <br /><br />Only needed a small hit of traditude since there's an unseen bolt at Kirk's waste. <br /><br /><br />

Jim Y (local) belays Kirk M (Colorado)on an 11, 1998. Nevermind Wall and it's neighbors have a lot to offer; cool summer temps, short approach, great belay zones, geologically unique rock, and a wide spectrum of route difficulties.

Getting a foot up for the crux layback/reach. This area is worth driving 1,400 miles for; steep, shady, climbing in a Squamish-like forest.

Red-pointing in the Owens River Gorge at Solarium. The ruins-of-Mordor ambiance and occasional self-chalking slopers might deter some. But the view of the Sierra from up at the cars makes up for the gloominess. And the awesome quantity of great routes on bullet-hard, pocketed, basalt places the Gorge a cut above all other western sport areas, (except maybe Smith Rock). Thank you first-ascensioneers!

Mark Rolofson leading the route listed as number 13 in the beta photo of the River Wall. We don't know the name of the route yet, so I put it on the intro page. Super steep and exposed, 5.11, juggy roof to a hand crack. To whoever put this route in: Thank you for all the hard work! This may be the best pitch in the canyon, even though some of the blocks and flakes are a little scary. After my first go, I taped my hands. Mark thought the jams were good enough to do without the tape glove though.
