Ascents in Mount Frankland

1 hang on upper headwall. difficult reach problem, prob grade 22 for shorties

CLASSIC!!! Great route! Get on it. Well protected and awesome moves. A few medium sized cams are helpful

Did another lap with Ronan. Spectacular sunset. See you next time Mt Franklin.

Great fun!

Great fun!

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.

Great climb, afew interesting moves with tiny crystal like holds

HARD! Big moves. I thought I was a gonna but Ash egged me on. Great climb. No Dickhead and Dynosaurs but still good. This was the second pitch of our adventure.

Very bouldery, but fun, would be a hard lead

bon. very very fun, tri camp are great foe p1

Fun - 1 fall + 1 rest

On hit list for next visit!

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.

Thought we were on ILC. Had a bit of an epic climbing this at 5 pm on a 60 m rope unable to scramble down from the other side with no head lamps. At least we know what not to do next time... Awesome lead by soph!

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

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 .

Not worth 3 stars, just exposed with jugs and overhang and an epic traverse to get there. still fun.

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!!

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.

Took a whip early on and had a rest. But otherwise climbed it clean.

Was a bit grimy don't let this put you off. Amazing climb. Watch the rope drag and keep it out the crack.

Mad three pitch climb. Really liked it, especially in the wet!

Easy until it wasn't! Got too hot to hang around and work the crux. Next time!

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.

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.

Ash lead. This was our first pitch up our little Mt Franklin epic
