The only way this cliff could be more holy would be if Mohammed or Jesus had bolted it. <br /> <br />  <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.  "The most dangerous part of the climb" as mentioned in Andrew's route description.   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.
