This is on the approach to Grassi Lakes in the morning... The lake was just crystal clear glass. The photo does not do the beauty of this lake any justice.

climbers dart up the incredibly fun Golf Course wall at Grassi one day many moons ago.

Cody W. gets the full brunt of powerful water charging from upper Grassi Lakes to this popular training spot called the Junkyards near Canmore.

A climber contorts on lead reaching for some of the last holds before the anchor, 5.12+.

This is a beautiful shot, and this is still early in the day! I could have cried when my camera started rewinding, and I realised there was no more film in my bag! I could have sold photos had I gotten some of the shots I wanted to! Oh well, such is life!

This is my first time climbing grassi! It was a beautiful day with the sun at my back!

One of my friends at Grassi! Doesn't the sun just make you wish it was summer?

Damn' why have I never came here before? this is fun! Hey look, I can see downtown Calgary from here! (If only!) [grin]

Wow! I'm luvvin it! Grassi must now be at the top of my list for climbs! This summer, it became my second...no wait, third...no...fourth home!

This day just keeps getting better and better! Is there anything this place doesn't have to offer?

If there is a place I'd rather be than I am on crack! (unless it has beautiful rocks!) This place is the best! for some reason there always seems to be a dog at the crags though! It never fails!

Sometimes Grassi lakes gets busy, and you get a intersting croud of people watching.

Nick being lowered off A Bold New Plan. The overhang is prety obvious since he is so far away from the wall.

My gf Melissa shot this as we were hiking out of the grassi lakes bombardment zone.....sport climbing has never been so smashing!! Gotta watchout for rocks kicked down by the sheep or goats atop the cliffs. Otherwise lots of pocket pulling and heavily bolted beginner routes.

Pascale at her first attempt on Bold New Plan, almost got it!

A Bold New Plan Direct start starts under the roof, and finishes on the face. No tickee no laundry heads straight up the overhang.

An unknown climber heads up the wall at the Graceland Area, Grassi lakes Alberta, Canada.

An unknown climber works his way up the pumpy Choss Toss (11a) .. he made it to the third bolt before pumping out.

This is me on our canada trip. This was one of my first 5.9 leads. It was a fun route. Out of the three routes with really close bolts this is the middel one. I like the close bolts. I think its called Pothole Alley. My brother took this pic.

This is of me. I am on pothole alley or Horroculture. I can't remember. I think this is a cool shot. shows what the belayer sees atleast.

A picture on the Golf Course wall at Grassi Lakes outside of Canmore. The routes are easy at 5.5 to 5.7, but fun and a great place to string up a top rope for beginners.

A picture of my sweetie Jen on a climb at the Golf Course Wall at Grassi Lakes. The route she is on is a 5.5 and this was only her 3rd time outdoors.
