Nodes in North Face

Recommended to discuss access with a local, can be tricky to find the carpark and requires a 4WD to access.

Starts 10m uphill of AF at a white streak. Head straight up for 5m to first pro in horizontal break, then head right and up onto slab. Follow slab back left and up past FH (crux). Now climb up and right to the belay chains of AF.

Starts where the western track meets the rock on the vague north-eastern corner of the South Sentinel.

1. Up from initialled corner to large scoop and gear. Move R out of scoop and continue up the crack. Move L past 1 FH to a small horn and another FH. Gain the corner crack and follow the ledges to vegetated belay ledge and chains.

2. Up and L from the belay through vegetation to gain the large detached rib. Pass optional rivet on the main wall (requires 1 bracket) and follow rib to ledge with prominent crack. Up to gain large ledge with tree.

3. Up steep scooped wall to sloping ledge and traverse L to single FH (back up with gear).

4. Obvious crack above belay then easy corner to summit.

Starts about 8m R of AF at a vague grey line. Up the ramp (loose blocks on the L) and continue up for about 20m. Then up R of an orange scoop and traverse L above to reach orange rock and corner. Up corner to vegetated belay ledge and chains.

Start at the first belay of AF, follow the obvious crack on the right to ledge and continue up, traversing right to join up with pitch 4 of Pitch Black.

Starting 5m L of the of AF pitch 4. Pass 4 FHs up the pocketed wall to reach crack at top. Natural Belay.

1. (28m 13) 10m R of AF. Up black slab on U bolts to fun finish and ledge.

2. (28m 15) Up past 2 U bolts to corner. Traverse R over slab to steep headwall. Up this to natural belay. Escape as for PB.

Head L up ramp to corner. Up and over buldge (awkward) to interesting crimpy finish.

Straight up from NE belay. Enjoyable climbing on pocketed orange rock. Traverse slightly L at end to jug.

Far RH line off the ledge. Sustained jug haul on overhung orange rock.

The direct start to PB. Starts 15m R of the original start. Up the black slab to ledge and up steep blocky corner on thin gear. Pull over onto easier ground and follow the RH facing corner to a short headwall to PB 2nd pitch belay chains.

Follows the steep crack directly above to chains.

Starts from the large ledge on Pitch Black (the end of the 4th pitch). Up the short steep section a few metres left of pitch 5 of PB then follow ledges left until you reach the ledge with tree in the middle of the third pitch of Absent Friends.

About 8m R of Absent Friends is a low blocky ledge and a not-so-obvious weakness. An excellent climb with great rock and exposure, a little run-out with tricky gear in places. Escape is possible from chains at the end of pitch 2 & 4.

1. 13 35m Follow weakness on good rock until you reach a ledge with a single FH.

2. 15 12m Trend up right to below large death block – don't touch it! Place gear and begin the exposed juggy traverse around arête to small ledge and chains.

3. 15 37m Go up from belay, trend left below overlap and follow left facing ramp for a few metres until a small ledge with loose blocks above. Head out right past a tricky crux section on sketchy gear and pull through a final steep section to reach a large sloping ledge and cave (DBB).

4. 3 30m Scramble up left under cave and up loose gully or the wall on your right. Continue until you reach a chain belay and large tree directly above previous belay. Escape is possible here via chains.

5. 9 45m Continue through steep section and small V groove (little gear) to reach a ledge. Or alternatively start left at the featured corner. Continue up well featured rock to belay ledge below final headwall.

6. 14 43m Trend up and slightly right through the steep section before moving R past 1m high horn. Now move up heavily featured section to summit.

Set the belay further L of the original below two obvious corners. Up the R corner and onto ledge then trend R and easily up to top.

Climb up past the first 4 bolts of SC then traverse left 2m. Move straight up through the diagonal rooflet rails.

VF to SC. Instead of trending R to corner/arete, blast straight up through brilliant steep orange rock to finish at FEOS anchor.

Great climbing starting on the first three bolts of TLM pitch 1. Straight up the slab through immaculate orange rock trending right on ledge. Step out left from the sanctuary corner for exposed finish at FEOS anchor. Lower off these anchors or continue to p2 anchor of TLM.

One of the mega classic multi-pitches at Frederick Peak bolted by the three monkeys themselves.
