Resumen

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.

Descripción

The Freezer is a great Summer crag with afternoon shade. Soul Sister end of the crag comes into shade first from around lunchtime. Cliff will catch a good breeze and there are lots of great vertical moderates. Perfect place to rack up some laps.

Restricciones

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

Acceso

As of Feb22 Fixed rope down to the left side is in good condition.

Long but easy walk in starting from the common access path shared with Cosmic County and the Railway Cliffs. Park at the end of Donald Rd in Clarence.

Follow the trackmarked with a cairn in the railway gravel storage area (old parking area) through a gully until you meet a bitumen road. Turn right and follow the road until the powerlines are overhead. Follow the powerlines as they head down a big gully until you once again meet the road. Here follow a detour heading left then right on the road to avoid the gully and get back under the powerlines. Follow them again up the hill becoming a dirt road until you reach a small clearing on a ridge. You will see a small solar powered weather station. From here turn left and follow the obvious climbers path for 5min until you reach the top of a thin gully. This has a handline to help you down to the cliffline. Turn left and bingo you're there.

Ética

Single pitch sport climbing up to 30m. Follow general blue mountains guidance before considering bolting.

Advertencia Equipo fijo: Terra Incognita anchor

PA: V.Kondos, 1993

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

PA: L.McManus, 1994

Mmmm.

PA: C.Jewel, 1994

Bit cranky down low then cruise to anchors

PA: Glenn Short

PA: C.Van de Reyt, 1994

PA: V.Kondos, 1994

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

PA: V.Kondos, 1994

Apparently a soft tick!

PA: S.Butler, 1992

Burly start then cruisy

PA: M. Law

PA: M.Law, 1992

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

PA: Nate Bolton, 2009

PA: Nathan Bolton, 2009

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

PA: M.Portman, 1992

Advertencia Equipo fijo: anchor

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

PA: M.Law, 1992

Start as for SWALK, then veer right.

PA: M.Stacey, 1993

Choss!

PA: V.Condos, 1994

More Choss.

PA: J.Clark, J.Kurko & M.Wilson, 1994

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 *

PA: V.Kondos, 1992

Excellent !! Rebolted 2015.

PA: V.Kondos, 1995

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

PA: M.Stacey, 1993

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

PA: R Stiles & M Haffner, 2009

PA: F.Yule, 1998

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

PA: M.Law, 2000

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

PA: M.Law, 1996

PA: M.Law, 1993

Now with proper double bolt lower off.

PA: S.Butler, 1992

A bit choss in spots.

PA: V.Kondos, 2000

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.

PA: J.Smoothy, G. Bradbury & T. Bretherton, 1994

Up the 'Arete' on Carrots

Start: 5m right of INOUTFLS

PA: M. Law & V. Kondos, 1995

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.

PA: M. Haffner, R. Stiles & M. Corkin, 2009

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.

PA: R. Stiles, M. Corkin & M. Haffner, 2009

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

PA: M.Law, 1992

Start: Righthand route.

PA: S.Butler, 1992

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.

PA: S. Hawkshaw, 2000

PA: M.Corkin & R.Styles

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

PA: M.Corkin & R.Styles

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

PA: Kyle Dunsire, 1995

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

PA: M.Stacey, 1994

Steep start, follow the corner then up.

PA: S.Butler, 1992

PA: M.Law, 2000

PA: F.Yule, 2000

PA: M.Law, 2000

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.

PA: M.Law, 2000

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

PA: M.Law, 1992

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!

PA: M.Law, 1992

Up the right side of the arête.

PA: D.Whitehouse, 1993

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

PA: S.McElroy, 1993

PA: M.Pircher, 1999

Under and over the arch, originally graded 24.

PA: D.Whitehouse, 1993
