Ascents in Hazards Cliffs having Beta

Top two pitches make this one, grest intro to climbing on the hazards

First pitch description should be updated to clearly say you have to traverse right along the hollow flake (as in the guidebook). It’s very tempting to go straight up coz that’s where chalk and clean rock is but it’s tricky and can be dangerous if you fall there. Based on the amount of chalk and comments below - quite a few people make this mistake. Regardless it was not obvious to me at that time that I have to go right towards the black mossy slabs so I bailed and didn’t realise a mistake until reached for the guidebook.

Flashed pitch 1 after my partner got lost on the onsight then lowered, defeated and confused.

Onsighted the rest, what an unbelievable route. So so good. Probably staunch for 19 if you're bad at jams or fall to pieces if it's a bit runout but yeah wow, really really grand climbing in a sublime position. The Hazards delivers again and again.

Got a little lost at the start of the first pitch.

Linked pitch 2+3 on accident. Lots of rope drag because I didn’t extend last piece before traverse.

So classic! Apart from a route finding mishap on first pitch, the whole things was epic! Every pitch was great and unique! 3rd pitch I thought was quite hard at 19, after a fall, I lowered off pull the rope and climbed it again with 3 bits of gear still in the wall.

Just wow - every pitch is unique and amazing in its own way. Led pitch 1 and 3. Top pitch is quite hard for 19 with some truly bizarre off-widthing in the runnel. Well protected the entire way so nothing to worry about. Would 100% do again.

Onsight led the first and second pitch. Seconded the third pitch cleanly. Every pitch has something: from the from riding the flake like a bull on the first pitch to interesting crack and the mad flake on the second then strange shallow chimney stuff and finger jams on the third. Thanks Ewan for geeing me up to lead out across the flake on the second, if it weren't for you I certainly would have had a rest on the gear before finishing the pitch.

A perfect day of insanely good climbing! each pitch was just so amazing and the Hazards are the most stunning setting for a sun-soaked day of climbing! the features and the line felt so unlikely, but climbed so well! the hand traverse on the first pitch was bizarre and the second pitch was definitely the hardest I've worked so far to onsight a climb. desperate and scary! miraculously didnt fall despite a foot slip on the undercling traverse, which was a wild and unforgettable piece of climbing. i couldn't stop smiling belaying in the little shrub because stoke was so high, and the position and climbing was just crazy. Top pitch was greasy and grovelly, and totally different again. Alex totally crushed the lead, and I'm so happy I was able to get up it clean with some funky offwidthing and fingerlockin! What an incredible climb!

So so cool! Lee almost pumped it on the second pitch! Think U went too direct on the third 19 and made it 21 lol

landed on my arse on P 4

Good area. Worth a day or two.

We topped roped it but it would make a great easy slab route for the masses, just add steel.

Wear long sleeves.

Really nice crack. Just needs to be longer.

Not the best, but had to warm up on something.

Getting through those bolts was slabby!!! Haven't climbed proper slab since Girraween a year ago. Awesome to get back into it, but the twin cracks for the next 35/40m is where it's at.

More like a 20 but an absolute gem as long as you can climb a range of styles.

What a brilliant day out. Stunning weather, great climbing and well protected. I lead 1st and 3rd. Dan 2nd and 4th. Quality slab climbing in an amazing location. Approach notes: After heading left and down at the boulders, walk along under the Suzuki Complex until you reach a sloping polished slab. Push through some shrubs to drop down a little onto the next ledge. Cairn here. Walk south for 10m or so before pushing down through some more shrubs. Left for 5m to a fixed rope around a rock.

Lovely day out. Well bolted and accessible fun climbing.

60km winds add a bit of a challenge!

Really fun, albeit a bit contrived and has bolts near good gear placements on every pitch, especially the 2nd. The climbing is really nice though. Great pure slabbing on the last two pitches.

Onsighted, Inc the 21 variant. Used a 200m static and the crux was definitely lugging that thing up there and hauling it back into the bag

Beautiful day out and about! The moves of the slab where delicious. Lots of little crimps

Fuck... I thought it was three pitches... now reading the description I realise we didnt climb the first pitch!

Valentine's Day ascent with the Mrs while visiting Freycinet for my birthday (the 15th). Very well equipped line. Also easy to find and straightforward to climb. Views in every direction are phenomenal!

The rain made this very engaging.

rope soloed every pitch with the new Revo! exciting stuff, nearly took a huge dive right at the end of the last but of slab- grabbed the draw right before my foot popped, spicy

Lead first, second and fourth this time. Probably went too high before coming back across into the line on the second and had a heart in mouth moment. One sit near the end of the last slab. Great climb.

What an absolutely mad climb. Slab and cruisy but the atmosphere is amazing.

Repeat.

Great day out. Thought it was quite hard. Some of the best slab I've climbed

So good! The last two pitches were highlights. Lovely day on the slab topped off with some Winning Scoops at the Pondering Frog.

Slipped on glassy last pitch

Lead P1 + 3, second P2 + 4

Alt with Dave 3.5 hours car to car, necessary because we didn’t get there until after 3 pm. Pleasant climbing, great location. Might scrape in at 5.8 at Squamish or elsewhere ie mostly grade 15/16

Quite hard for 18. Great range of styles and crack widths, though quite crumbly. Hadn’t read the updated description about a #5, as my #4 disappeared into the distance at the top

Ok, few moves then jug hauling. Fiddly RPs.

An unbelievable climb. Nice to do a route on the Hazards where you don't feel like you're going to die. Beautiful 15/16 slab the whole way with maybe one hard move per pitch. Everyone please do this climb.

Superb and chill, really good day out with a great view
