		+	To reach the Deep Freeze, continue about 200m uphill from the Sundeck, heading diagonally right. The boulder is only about 30m away from the base of the main mountain – see photo on previous page. The routes are on the north side of the boulder. There are a couple U-bolts on top of the boulder. These can be used to provide security if you want reach the chains and set up a top-rope and can be accessed by scrambling up the back of the boulder.

		+	\|Start towards the left-hand side of the north face, about 2m to the left of the central black streak . Climb up diagonally left towards the arête. After the second bolt, either pull through rightwards immediately, or go up left to clip the next bolt before going through the small bulge. Continue to the top. Apparently the climbing is much easier if you traverse out to the arête and climb this, however, you will then find it hard to clip the bolts.
