Mount Frankland The Terrace
22 Sneak up and Pounce

Midway between Butter Fingers and Silence of the Cams is a new independant line. Great climbing, clean rock (despite the lichen/drip line) and memorable moves. Boulder up to the first bolt, suck in your belly and sneak carefully left. Up and then pounce back right (crux) and up to a good stance. A few more moves and the angle eases and you can romp home to Wreckage Ledge. Lots of fun. Could be 23. Who knows.
