Ascents in Frederick Peak as various tick types by Douglas Hockly

Boom! 3:30am, done. Hype hype hype - this is the best route I've ever dogged into submission. What's better than this? Procul...what else?

Cool technical climbing which is quite varied.

Words can't do this route justice. Photos can't do this route justice. Hell, even justice can't do this route justice. Wendy says it's just an unjust route. Undeniably a world-class, "you should travel here to lose skin on this" route. Despite making fun of Lee, (Hi Lee!) this is a complete megaclassic, one of the best things I've done. Awesome.

Second bolt is very high - at the limit of my reach and I'm 6ft. Technical climbing which is fun but over pretty quickly. Mostly an access pitch to KN.

Really good first 2/3, rock goes downhill a bit after the crux. Felt like 22.

Interesting climbing that feels high up. I found this very hard for the grade, but may just have been tired. A bit loose feeling in places but you climb to the right of your belayer.

I found this more like 20, interesting and technical on pretty good rock

The start and finish are quite good but the middle is a morass of loose blocks and rubble. Worth doing only if you're going to do a second pitch.

Doesn't look like much but it's quite good, I find it quite technical through the bulge

Again, good and more substantial than it looks.

I broke a hold and took a winger so - hopefully the rock is better now. Great climbing, second bolt on the steep bit is reachy to clip.

Not that special - hard start then a bit dirty. The harder routes here look much better.

Very technical! Had a very hard time first shot, then it felt easy second shot. Great climbing in the first half, it loses it a bit in the top section as it's easier (but looser) to head right. Cool route.
