Hardest Route At You Yangs Repeated It took him seven days over the last 12months, but finally Doug Hockly has repeated the infamous Pain And Frequency (29) on the Northern Outcrop. This granite arete has a very bouldery crimp crux and a very tenuous slabby finish which Doug fell from several times before the successful ascent. The route was originally climbed by Mike Law in the 1980's and given the ridiculous sandbag grade of 23. Doug said it felt as hard as Cobwebs or Masada, two grade 29's he has done previously. It was re-bolted by Safer Cliffs Victoria late last year.
