Nodes in The Freezer

A bit of a walk (40 mins) to get here but once you have arrived you will be treated with some very good early to mid grade 20's and some classic harder climbs over the log of death. Summer time gem.

Little 15m wall, that kind of slides up the hill and is vertical to very slightly overhung. Has only one easy route, at the moment but has potential for 2 more and stays in the shade until about 2pm.

Easy, juggy climbing, up the right side of the face.

Named 'The Learning Curve', due to being the first bolted line, by Rob and learning to probably not use Kong P bolts in future, as they are quite difficult to work with.

Due to changes in land ownership, some unnecessary angst created by climbers and the recent bush fires, the access situation to the Freezer, Cosmic County etc has now completely changed. The road down through the Buddist’s Monk’s Retreat must NOT be used under any circumstances. It is very important that climbers use the NEW access track (it skirts around to the eastern side of the Monks Retreat). Download the new access description and map here: http://bit.ly/1kBjUQJ

Hard undercut start then a long wall with a runout upper half. Probably not a good one if 19 is your limit.

Mmmm.

Bit cranky down low then cruise to anchors

The arete. Seems to be a thiefs paradise as all attempts to ensure that the lower off anchors are safe is thwarted by theft.

Apparently a soft tick!

Burly start then cruisy

Up Rat$ till about 1/2 way, then head rightish up obvious feature, and up to anchors. Pretty Cool..

A long crux sequence up high makes this a stiff classic.

Another crowd favorite up big pumpy jugs. Best to stickclip 2nd bolt if you value your leg bones.

Start as for SWALK, then veer right.

Choss!

More Choss.

Apparently quite fun! Don't lower off this, just top out and bring your second up.

You can lower off with care and an 80m rope. There is a clip and go bolt at the start of the traverse, make you clip your rope in to this on way back down.

* If you miss this you will lower off into thin air Have a knot in each end of the rope too *

Excellent !! Rebolted 2015.

The hidden gem of the freezer. Very unique, engaging and sustained wall climb on stone that feels similar to granite.

The mossy offwidth corner crack. Scramble up choss to ledge with small tree

The line of most scoops. An anchor has appeared at some point, no cleaning off a single bolt is required.

Hand on top, jump and lower off last ring. Looks much harder then the stated grade and has a suspect looking bolt.

Now with proper double bolt lower off.

A bit choss in spots.

These next two climbs are on the lower cliff line.

A hard start followed by low angle wall climbing. Start at short corner with bolts, up corner and Groove/wall above.

Up the 'Arete' on Carrots

Start: 5m right of INOUTFLS

To access the rest of these climbs you must first cross the log of death, please harness up for this...

The diagonal crack left of the obvious Splitter Crack (Looking for Johnny), directly below the right end of the Log of Death. Rap from tree above Looking for Johnny 30m to ledge. Start up initial grove as for Looking for Johnny, then branch out with the crack.

The obvious splitter crack below the right end of the Log of Death. Rap from trees at the top of the splitter crack 30m to the ledge. Climb the crack straight up.

Start: Lefthand route. Starts at the end of the 'death traverse'.

Start: Righthand route.

Up black wall past three U's to ledge then up to nice orange face. You may not enjoy this if you are short, set by a big bird.

Start: around arete from log of death.

Shares the same anchor as RT about 20m higher then it should be.

Very steep! Start in the dust below the overhang at the left side of the sector. A belay bolt marks the spot.

Start as for Gruntled then climb left through some hard moves.

Steep start, follow the corner then up.

Bouldery start, no batman’n. Moderate climbing to the ledge. Punchy move over bulge to gain good edge. Thin moves lead to good jug/slot. Nice big sidepull move takes you up to the final crux and the single U bolt loweroff.

Nice thin wall and slab to a half ledge then a long and sustained pocket crux with a couple hard clips.

Start left of the arête. Past tricky slab, then continue up right to arete, good holds take you up the steepness and a pump crux towards the top. Anchors are guarded by a tricky throw on pumped arms. Resistance climbing at its best!

Up the right side of the arête.

Start: Around the arete from 'Lactictoc'. Another one of the hidden gems, sweet face climbing for when your steep arms give out. Rebolted Nov 2015
