Description

Almost-vertical wall above the left-hand side of the Lower Slabs characterised by a large grassy ledge.

Access issues inherited from Mount Frankland

Climbing and abseiling are permitted only with approval from DPaW.

That is required prior to the activity and can be easily obtained by filling and emailing this registration form to Senior Ranger (christie.bentink@dbca.wa.gov.au) from Frankland District of DPaW.

The area boasts some endangered fauna and flora and care must be taken to not damage any of the flora that inhabits Mt Frankland. Removal of plants could result in climbing restrictions.

Approach

5-10 min

The Terrace can be reached by climbing any of the routes on the Lower Slab. Alternatively, you can scramble up the right hand side of the west face and walk along the base of the Main Wall to the grassy terrace.

A great way to reach the summit from The Terrace.

35m (18): 5 bolts to DBB on Wreckage Ledge. Rather awkward first move which is one of those things that you will either do first time no worries. Or you will huff and puff and scratch at the rock wondering what goes. Sensibly bolted and a nice pitch.
30m (15): 3 bolts and large cams to belay on small ledge. Easy for 15.
30m (9): Unprotected scramble to top.

FA: A. Rokich & R. Tyson, 1991

As for 'Three Sheep Twice a Day' to its second bolt, then trend right up a poorly-protected seam. Finish as for Butter Fingers.

FA: S. Richardson & T. Massiah, 1992

Fine face climbing up past 3 bolts to medium cams in a groove/flake where the difficultly eases. It is possible to clip a 4th bolt after the cams if you want to your right, before running it out to on Wreckage Ledge. Traverse into the line from the left as the start is undercut. Holds can be tricky to spot but they are there and nice and positive. Probably a grade 21 tick if you do it ground up without knowing where the holds are. 3rd bolt was a rusty galv expansion, but replaced in Dec 2023 with a stainless expansion and new hanger.

FA: A. Rokich & A. Miller, 1991

Midway between Butter Fingers and Silence of the Cams is a new independant line. Great climbing, clean rock (despite the lichen/drip line) and memorable moves. Boulder up to the first bolt, suck in your belly and sneak carefully left. Up and then pounce back right (crux) and up to a good stance. A few more moves and the angle eases and you can romp home to Wreckage Ledge. Lots of fun. Could be 23. Who knows.

FA: Neil Gledhill & Kate Swain, 1 Dec

If you are getting bored of slab climbing. Left-leaning crack finishing on the Wreckage Ledge.

FA: A. Rokich & S. Rewell, 1991

Start 10m right of 'Silence of the Cams' below right hand end of horizontal crack. Up to carrot and follow crack with gear. Up runnel to rap anchors.

FA: E. Mandyczewsky, 1999

On the section of blank wall between Silence of the Cams and Dickheads and Dynosaurs (directly below Skippy Goes Splat). Start up Inshallah to second bolt and head straight up wall on Fixe bolts. Technical, thin and awesome rock. Lower of leaver biner or continue to anchor above Inshallah.

FA: E. Mandyczewsky, 1999

Starts 7m right of Drop Bears Garden. Climb the face and water runnel with 5 P-bolts. Can use a #3 cam. Finish on lower-offs for start of Frankenstein and Dreaded Head. A good approach pitch to Frankenstein and Dead Head.

FA: M. Willson & E. Mandyczewsky, 2006
