Climb: Place Creek Falls - FA???-
Date of Climb: 1/9/2005
Trip Report:
A group of us climbed Place Ck Falls on Sunday. Couldn't figure out if this has been climbed before or not. The closest thing in the guide seems to be Whispering Falls, although the book places that climb on the N. end of Gates Lake (Birkenhead Rd) and the access doesn't sound quite right...
For what it's worth, a fun climb, first pitch grade 3 with a 15m grade 4 step at the top. ~50m total. pitch 2, 3 and 4 all ~ 40m meandering grade 2 with grade 3 steps.
Approach Notes:
Park at railway crossing ~24km from Mt.Currie, follow railway line about 200m then cut across 2 Hydro cuttings and up the hill to the falls. Same access as Place Glacier trail.
