Grampians Mt Frederick info 10-Jul-2017 At 11:33:32 AM Tradgic

I was in there maybe 10 years ago. Made a direct version of the big old corner. This involved removing the teetering half cubic meter of block that we wedged in the crack (yes Wide), which the old route avoided... then we led a new pitch out the over hung wall directly above. This was all a sketchy grade 19 I guess.

We then proceeded to grope our way down the hill in inky blackness with no torches, resigned to sleeping in the sword grass, we awoke to a car driving down the central grampians road only 10 meters from where we lay... yes, we gave up and bivvied tem meters from the road, 100m from the car.

The climbing character is much like Mount Abrupt. We thought that given it was kind of near to Green Gap Pinnacle it might have some good stone, but alas... proud lines on average rock. Over the back on the other hand is a wall comparable to Eureka Walls but maybe a 2hr hike up over Frederick and beyond. Visible from Green Gap and Frederick... anyone been there?
