	14	★ Lambs To The Slaughter - with John Saunders	Sport 50m, 3	★★ Very Good	Rob Walker
Massive runout between the second and third bolt but is easy climbing.
	16	★ Free Burma - with John Saunders	Mixed trad 160m, 8	★★ Very Good	Rob Walker
We nearly attempted climbing this at 4 in the afternoon thinking we could run up in a couple of hours with just a rack of nuts.. thank god we didn't! The guide describes the climb as well protected but I would say it was adequately protected as long as you have a rack of cams, are comfortable with slab and have patience to find the bolts as they are pretty well spaced out.

Started slightly to the left for 5m then continued to the top on what I later found to be near enough to Free Burma. Awesome freesolo. Now onto the next one.

	21	★★★ Dickheads and Dynosaurs - with Sam	Sport 45m, 10		Peter Jensen
Great climb, afew interesting moves with tiny crystal like holds
	20	★★ Jugular - with Dirk Klicker, Rob	Mixed trad 45m, 5	★★ Very Good	Kym Campbell
Fell going past the first bolt, virtually to ground level. Should have started again, because I got it clean after that. First bolt is uncomfortably high, definitely in a don't fall zone. Thanks to Dirk for putting the draws up.
	21	★★★ Dickheads and Dynosaurs - with Dirk Klicker, Rob	Sport 45m, 10	★★★ Classic	Kym Campbell
Great, long, varied route with some committing thin moves, but well bolted overall. Recommended. Must be more than 10 bolts, because I ran out of draws.

We jumped on this thinking we were on Free Burma. We weren't. The second pitch is a great but bold lead! We made it to the summit, which was awesome. March flies, not so great.

My favorite little adventure in this place, too bad I chickened out and had a rest half way up. I was doing so well, should have just taken the fall Must come back, what a beautiful crack!!

Mount Frankland Lower Slab
	16	★ Free Burma - with Kym Campbell, Rebecca Trigger	Mixed trad 160m, 8	★ Good	Alex Campbell
The best pitch was the second one. the first one was good but it was wet and slippery so that didn't help. the third one was pretty bad and a one point i could not climb over a little cave so i had to go left until I could get over it. the last one was pretty simple i basically just walked up it.

Decent first pitch of regular well protected slab, enjoyable second pitch that's run out on small (like really small) gear, then it degenerates to very easy, way run out climbing, and, actually, where does it even go? We got to the top, anyway.

Would be very good except for lichen at bottom, though It doesn't really affect the climbing.

	18	★ Stoned Alone - with Jason	Sport 80m, 10	★ Good	Jiri Stastny
Very nice, easy for the grade I would say. A good warmup on first pitch, then delicate slaby moves on the second.

Mount Frankland Lower Slab
	16	★★ Dream Weaver - with Sinisa Vujic, Sana	Mixed trad 95m, 8	★ Good	Zhangter P
Mixture of GIMBs and natural gear. Was slightly different from the typical Gibraltar Rock slabs as it doesn't have subtle scoops. Was pretty straight forward climbing with bolt rings at the top of each pitch to abseil down.

	16	★ Free Burma (Free Burma P1) - with Tony and George 1 16 lead by Mark_K	Mixed trad 160m, 8	★★★ Classic	Mark_K
Old School Grade 16, this climb has some very run out bolts and requires trad gear placements. Not for the feint hearted. Only climbed the first pitch and it was great. Next time the whole route will go.

Mount Frankland Lower Slab
	18	★ Free Willy - with Tony and George	Sport 38m, 11	★★ Very Good	Mark_K
Another Ross creation, a very balancy climb on a particularly smooth bit of the slab, the second bulge is the crux and takes some commitment to send it. Awesome!
	16	★ Purring Pussies - with Tony and George	Sport 36m, 9	★ Good	Mark_K
Another solid slab climb, climb was dry but slightly mossy as it had not seen any traffic in a while.
	16	★★ Dream Weaver - with Tony and George 1 16 lead by Tony 2 16 lead by Mark_K	Mixed trad 95m, 8	★★ Very Good	Mark_K
Tony lead the first pitch placing some protection before and after the first bolt. Second pitch was lead by me, it was a real slab with very few hand positions (not holds). Good footwork needed all the way.

This route is awesome. A few unnerving runouts through hollow flakes but it all adds to the fun. Some super exposed moves over the roof on bomber cams!

Thought this deserves at least 2 stars or maybe I just love slab. Beautiful start to the day.
	17	★ Burmese Tiger - with Kate, Matteo	Sport 38m, 10	★★ Very Good	Aparna Ramesh
Lovely slabby climbing. If this is 2* I wonder what's a 3* climb going to be like. In love with frankland
	16	★★ Dream Weaver - with Kate, Matteo	Mixed trad 95m, 8	★ Good	Aparna Ramesh
Start of pitch one was a bit slippery but the rest was good slab climbing. Pitch 3 was an easy scramble and not really worth it.
	19	★★ Well Stoned - with jacob	Sport 75m, 9	★★★ Classic	Adam Straw
Second pitch is spectacular all the way to the top. First pitch has some fat as carrots which I couldn't seem to jam any hangers on. Lucky I brought the nuts as backup .
	16	★★ Dream Weaver - with Jacob	Mixed trad 95m, 8	★★ Very Good	Adam Straw
Nice easy slabbyness to start off the day.

	19	★★ Skippy Goes Splat - with Ashlee	Trad 35m	★★★ Classic	Chris
After Ash melted down on that stupid traverse (leading it is safer than seconding) I shaked off the hypothermia and went for it. I didnt realise this was a trad rout, so had little pro. Stood on a few nuts to make sure they didnt pop out. Big reaches and huge exposure made this a fitting summit push for me and Ash. Thanks Ashleeeeee

Great warmup. The roof was pumpy. Just follow the fixed hangers, just bring binoculars to spot them.... they are that far apart. Great climb. Worth three stars.

	18	★★ Three is the Key - with Paul	Mixed trad 35m, 6	★ Good	Marc
What can I say? A great hard adventure not for the faint hearted. Sharp rock, giant crystals, slabby with thin edges, great friction. Long run outs of up to 6 metres on mixed hangers and natural protection. Fell when a thin as nails crimp pulled off. Made it to what I think was the second last hanger before bailing. Fun and hairy.

	16	★ Free Burma - with Mike	Mixed trad 160m, 8	Average	Matt O
Run out for sure. Cheated the runout by using the bolts of free-willy to get to the first bolt but wussed out above the overlap before the flake. Probably should have gone for it (good gear immediately below). Next time!
