Northern Slabs Guide

A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.

At a minor crag level this should be suitable for printing and taking with you on a climbing trip as an adjunct to your guidebook.

Seasonality

All Trad climbing

Lat / Long: -34.821396, 116.789104

description

Easy to moderate, barely protected slab climbing. No bolts should be placed on this cliff. All climbs are either trad, top-ropable or solos.

access issues

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.

3	Big Boys Rule FA was a solo. Start at small cairn 10m left of drainage line between Rough Justice and Leaves in the Gutter. Climb steepening wall up pockets to gain left trending pocketed seam. Crux is steep section at 10m. FA: B. Aikman, 1998	20	Trad 27m
