[MCR] Grassi Lakes Climbing Area

Subject: [MCR] Grassi Lakes Climbing Area

The closure extends from the upper dam to just above the climbing formation
known as the Golf Course.

That means the following are closed to climbing and hiking:
The Ghetto
The Rectory
Swamp Buttress
White Imperialist 
Hermit Wall.

The following areas can be accessed from the lower Grassi Parking area and
hiking trail and are still open:
Graceland
Meathooks
Gardeners Wall
Golf Course

The hazard created by the wire encased rock baskets, that have slid out of
place and threaten the canyon, is a very real one.
