Ascents in Deep Freeze Wall

great little climb. with Douglas and Duncan

with Gordy

Great climbing from bottom to top. Worth it's two stars.

Great little wall this one. Super smeggy/sauna day. Nice to tick even with bad conditions. The gear is all there but not straightforward, either to see or place.

had a fiddle (and flash pump) with the gear.

Had a play on TR whilst escaping the heat. Great route, I think coming off the top sidepull to the slap is the way forward. Need to come back

Got it second shot would've lead it but didn't have enough small wires and RPs to protect it. Heaps soft 25, more like 24.

Working out where the route goes (I think I've got it right on the topo?), and where the holds are, and what gear it takes, was mighty challenging for 10m of climbing. But once that was all worked out it seemed closer to 24 than 25.

One of the longest times I’ve been on the wall for an onsight attempt. Wasn’t a fan of a lot of my gear (needed more small wires). But then punted near the top..

Lovely techy movement. Felt much easier than my first burn.

Second shot

Such a good route stoked Mike got it first go, took me 3 goes and sent it with the worst technic of the 3 but it got me up the wall 😅

With pre placed gear and tr inspection, still not a giveaway! Tricky to read some of those sequences.

Swinging and floatin on RPs felt rad

with Douglas and Duncan

A bit thin on gear

Great fun in the crack, pity about the desperate move into it.

Hey a route I actually climbed clean on this wall! I must be doing it wrong.

First shot, doesn't really join Deep freeze, maybe 1 hold.

One very hard move...

The crux of Strapping is definitely the crux of this route ... but the crux of Strapping is not very 23!

very short and a bit scrappy
