Ascents in South Coast by Chris

Best way off this cliff.

Great climb. Some nasty bits, but it is an adventure. Take big cams!

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

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

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.

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

Pretty sure I had done this before. Had a clusterfuck trying to get down.

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

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.

My favorite climb of the weekend. Super technical and sustained. A super classic WA granite face climb. Pinch pinch and pinch!

Mission success!!! Worth the 4 hour drive and hike. I won't be coming back for a repeat though. Great adventure in a beautiful location.

Totally shit! I had trouble with pro so pulled the crux above some dodge gear and was a little nervous. It was good to see the top!

Argh! That one move. I hit it, but couldn't hold it.

Great work Ashlee... proud of ya head on this one. Someone's kicking arse

Ran up this as an escape from Didi Wa Didi

Woah! Just do it! Don't go into that chimney, or you won't deserve the tick! Kicked out my nut doing crux and got a little shakey hahaha. It is awesome.

This climb is great. Awesome, sustained face climbing on gear! I'll be back to do it proper. Unfortunatley, I could get no gear in at crux, so, after three failed attempts to push my self up into what looked like better gear, I bailed left onto Plumb Jamb. You need small cams < BD 0.3.... I had none :'(

Much better 2nd pitch than the normal route. Highly recommend

Suprisingly, I found this climb was fantastic. Just as good as Baylec Direct. Perhaps the jamming is a little more technical as well.

Mega walk in just to discover a 4WD track reaches there as well. Mega three pitch abseil. And two mega 60m solos to get out. I don't recommend this unless you really like slab.

Hard! Awesome fist jamming up a flaring crack

Started too low. I think I started too low and had to aid the start. The topo in book may be wrong. Calling it an onsight only because I'm pretty sure I on sighted from where the belay should have been. Did in two pitches and had an epic with ash

The best way to get your bags up. Ugly corner.

Nice crack.

Another classic! Hard to make look easy. Awkward laybackin and gear placements make this one burly climb. Really worth it though

Great climb. Built a hanging belay on ledge 2m up so my belayer wouldn't go swimming with the fishes. If you don't like your belayer, make them swim with the fishes Fell trying to stay inside crack. Better, and easier, if you step out of crack

Combined pitch 1 & 2 into a mega long, 59.5m pitch. Don't place too much gear, and it is possible. 3rd pitch as Albatross

Did third pitch of this to get off the ledge.

Crux is leaving crack. Maybe a little soft.

One of the best climbs in WA! It has everything. Hard for the grade, but still a 21.

Be careful of that flake!

AWESOME! I didn't take enought gear... as usual DBB is exactly where it should be after the final bolt. Just look hard

Did it with Brendan. Bloody hard for an 11. Ill give it grade 14. It was sopping wet too! Used about 50m of rope

This is not better than chocolate. In fact, I have eaten chocolate that I found in the street gutter, covered in chew marks from mice that was better than this climb. I do not rate it at all. The start of the first pitch is cool. But the rest is just awful. There could however, be some confusion to what route we were actually on.

6th send of this beast. And the first time I've seconded it.

Sam insisted on a ground up approach. So after he bailed off the start.... I placed the gear, fell higher up, and thus get a seconder's ascent I had a rope and backpack on my back which did not help.

This climb is amazing! Super awesome. Slimy traverse, nice finger jams and a spectacular crux! I stuck it, and fell off.... ARGH. The grade 26 curse strikes again!

Why am a recording this

Climbed it in the wet, with Simon photography. Awesome climb.

Ash lead it in fine style

Cool climb. Definately worth a go. Belayed John on his onsight, which he didn't loose despite Simon Carter barking orders to him to pose during a photoshoot. Cool stuff John!

First climb of the day and it was a beauty. The travese brings you around a corner to some awesome exposure. Ashlee led the second pitch like a boss. Third pitch is fine.

Awesome. First pitch is a gem. Got past the initial bulge and enjoyed the jamming/lay backing crack all the way to a wonderful belay ledge. Also watched a totally beautiful sunset. Great climb!

The line looks better than what it really is. Double bolt belay helps. Take two bolt plates
