Spent the last few days doing some relaxing climbing
at Grassy lakes allot of people were out enjoying what was a super nice day yesterday.
The trail down from the top has lots of snow before and some below the stairs of the rectory
as well as some ice and snow down from the white imperialist area.
Just a few notes, for some reason Tiques (ticks to some) are quite numerous this year.
I had not experienced them on the west side before. Just removed one from my back and delt with them all day yesterday.
So if your bit, remember to keep the critter. Check out this link for info: www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/id-mi/lime-fs-eng.php
On an other note, a good sport route,found at the right most side of Graceland about (11a), i believe set up last year, has some questionable bolts. The route is a bit dirty but fun climbing and nice overall addition.
The first three are well past perpendicular placements.. this dramatically decrease their shear strength.
As well the 4th and 6th bolts (D) length are in rather airy type stone.
