Grassi Lakes Geoff, Antri and I went climbing at Grassi Lakes. The weather looked pretty bad when we left Calgary, but the Crag was great, and we were working the overhanging routes during the rain. The highlights of the day were Antri's Redpoint of Bold New plan (he grabed the anchor, but in my books thats still prety good) and Geoff's Redpoint (second try) of No Tickee no Laundry, and onsight of the Harlot. For me, I was glad to haul myself up A bold New plan Direct, and No Tickee no Laundry, any day of climbing is a good day.
