Mount Frankland Northern Slabs | |||||
15 | Flash
| 20m | |||
18 | Rough Justice
FA was a solo. Go up obvious line of weakness at the left end of slab and right of Flash. Crux is at half height where weakness blanks out and delicate climbing on crystals is required. FA: B. Aikman, 1998 | 25m | |||
20 | Big Boys Rule
FA was a solo. Start at small cairn 10m left of drainage line between Rough Justice and Leaves in the Gutter. Climb steepening wall up pockets to gain left trending pocketed seam. Crux is steep section at 10m. FA: B. Aikman, 1998 | 27m | |||

11 | This Bites
| 30m | |||
23 | ★ Ashes to Ashes

Mount Frankland The Elephant | |||||
18 | ★ Purveyors of Matters Large and Small for the Masses
Start 15m left of Hannibal.
FA: Matt Rosser & Jim Truscott, 2004 | 77m, 2, 11 | |||
19 | Saracen
As for Hannibal to the third bolt, then left and up the crack on the side of the elephant's trunk and head. | 82m, 3, 3 | |||
20 | ★★★ Hannibal
An excellent and sustained climb straight up the middle of the trunk. Protected with six bolts (hangers needed), wires and cams. A Western Australian classic and a right of passage for all slab connoisseurs. Tricky move off the ground then cruise up past slots (medium cams) before heading up the trunk proper. A bit run out before the anchor but if you made it that far you will be fine on the runout.
FA: G. Philips & S. Digwood, 1991 | 70m, 2, 6 | |||
20 | ★ Lector Connector
This is a variation to the finish of Hannibal. It has a longer first pitch and a great position up the side of the 'trunk'.
FA: Mark Thake & Jeremy Scott, 2007 | 80m, 2, 9 | |||
16 | Trick or Treat
Better than it looks! Starts about 15m right of Hannibal below a series of water pockets.
FA: G. Phillips & S. Digwood, 1991 | 90m, 2 | |||
Mount Frankland Lower Slab | |||||
16 | ★★ Dream Weaver
A well protected, sustained and enjoyable face. Start up black slab 10m L of Ian's Lost Chance. Bolts (hangers required) plus medium nuts and cams.
Need 8 bolt plates and 9 draws plus nuts. Descent note: Can be done with a 60m rope, although last rap is 31m . Otherwise walk to top of mountain. FA: R. Weiter & D. Pantic, 2003 | 95m, 3, 8 | |||

Probably the longest route possible at Mount Frankland. The first pitch is a good access route to The Terrace.
FA: D. Moyses, M. Gidding, D. Wagland, G. Phillips & K. Langley, 1991 | 160m, 4, 8 | |||
26 | Je suis un gros lard

Mount Frankland The Terrace | |||||

A great way to reach the summit from The Terrace.
FA: A. Rokich & R. Tyson, 1991 | 95m, 3, 5 | |||
21 | ★ Prescription Pills
As for 'Three Sheep Twice a Day' to its second bolt, then trend right up a poorly-protected seam. Finish as for Butter Fingers. FA: S. Richardson & T. Massiah, 1992 | 35m, 2 | |||
20 | ★★ Butter Fingers
Fine face climbing up past 3 bolts to medium cams in a groove/flake where the difficultly eases. It is possible to clip a 4th bolt after the cams if you want to your right, before running it out to on Wreckage Ledge. Traverse into the line from the left as the start is undercut. Holds can be tricky to spot but they are there and nice and positive. Probably a grade 21 tick if you do it ground up without knowing where the holds are. 3rd bolt was a rusty galv expansion, but replaced in Dec 2023 with a stainless expansion and new hanger. FA: A. Rokich & A. Miller, 1991 | 35m, 3 | |||
19 | ★★★ Silence of the Cams
If you are getting bored of slab climbing. Left-leaning crack finishing on the Wreckage Ledge. FA: A. Rokich & S. Rewell, 1991 | 35m | |||
25 | Inshallah
Start 10m right of 'Silence of the Cams' below right hand end of horizontal crack. Up to carrot and follow crack with gear. Up runnel to rap anchors. FA: E. Mandyczewsky, 1999 | 22m, 5 | |||
19 | ★ What Would You Rather...?
Starts 7m right of Drop Bears Garden. Climb the face and water runnel with 5 P-bolts. Can use a #3 cam. Finish on lower-offs for start of Frankenstein and Dreaded Head. A good approach pitch to Frankenstein and Dead Head. FA: M. Willson & E. Mandyczewsky, 2006 | 15m, 5 | |||
Mount Frankland Wreckage Ledge | |||||
16 | Fuzzy Bear
The obvious corner on the right side of Wreckage Ledge. Finish on upper slab. | 50m | |||

19 | ★★ Skippy Goes Splat
A crag classic. Exposed and juggy up the obvious crack system 3m right of Quite Frankly. Set up hanging belay under overhanging blocks below crack.
FA: A. Rokich & D. Moyses, 1991 | 35m, 2 | |||
24 | ★★ Dread Head
Great climb! From belay, move up and left 3m and blast up wall past 3 bolts (last bolt needs a hanger) and natural gear. Finish on large flake and move right to belay chain and lower off. FA: S. Richardson, 1992 | 25m, 3 | |||
25 | ★★★ Frankenstein
Absolutely brilliant! Climb the slightly overhanging headwall up cracks, through scoops and over the roof to finish at lower-off chains. Well protected with 5 bolts and natural gear. FA: S. Richardson, 1992 | 25m, 5 | |||
16 | Drop Bears Garden

FA: A. Rokich & D. Moyses, 1991 | 50m, 2 | |||

20 | ★★ Uncle Gobby
Fine moves up wall. Start 5m right of At the Corner. Natural gear + 3 bolts. #4 friend useful in overlap protecting final moves. FA: K. Fleming & G. Brysland, 1992 | 45m, 3 | |||

Hard start, and easy finish. Small wires + 4 bolts. FA: S. Richardson, M. Gidding & A. Rokich, 1992 | 45m, 4 | |||
21 | ★★★ Cowlick
Superb face climbing. Small edges and long moves past the first 2 bolts make this climb excellent. The crux is pulling through the final overlap. FA: A. Rokich & S. Enne, 1991 | 45m, 6 | |||
20 | ★★ Jugular
Similar, but slightly easier than Cowlick. A flake has gone missing near second bolt, making climb considerably more difficult. FA: A. Rokich & S. Enne, 1991 | 45m, 5 | |||
18 | ★★★ Thieves Like The Sun
Well protected and good fun. Starts 10m right of Jugular where it is easy to step on the wall. The climb trends left past 7 FHs and some natural gear. Same finish as Jugular once overlap is reached. Traverse 15m right to lower-offs. FA: R. Wall & G. Brysland, 1992 | 45m, 8 | |||

Thompson's Cove Phoenix Walls | |||||
20 | Cheezgrater
Find the big obvious crack next to a very pointy boulder on the west facing cliff. It doesn't look overhung, but it is. It looks smooth, but it isn't. Just follow crack until you start to bleed, Continue to loose blood, and when you can't possibly loose any more blood, continue until you reach the top. Tape recommended. FA: A. Pitchford, 1991 | 20m | |||
