Ascents in Frog Buttress as various tick types by James

tricky gear, not recommended for a gr17 leader

tight squeeze spoils otherwise good route

the 'corn-flake' hold was my saviour!!

super good, keeps coming up the top (repats: lead 12.4.03)

the DS is probably the best way to do this

nice finger locks (repeats: lead 29.7.01; 2nd 26.4.03)

dirty (especially at the top)

a break from the pure jamBing of Frog

I don't know why Scott Camps left this out of his guide

slipped near the start, cool route though

its clean & classic Froig climbing (complete with an off-width yuk bit)

worth doing

barn-door crux, the rest is ok (repeas: 18.3.01)

nice variation of face & crack work (repeats: 2nd 24.8.00; lead 12.5.01; 2nd 29.7.01; lead 5.4.03)

awesome thin face (repeats: 2nd 5.4.03)

1 fall, fell off the sustained upper jamB crack waaay after the crux (damn it!)

exposed & fun

1 fall... greased out of the hand jamB after cruising the crux (straight back on & crusied the rest of it)... bastard!! (repeats: 2nd 13.8.00; lead 12.5.01)

shame its not longer (repeats: lead 30.7.00; lead 24.8.00; lead 29.7.01)

greasy crux (repeats: lead 6.7.00; 2nd 13.8.00)

worth doing (repeats: lead 30.3.03)

(repeats: lead 21.7.01; 2nd 12.4.03)

must do!! (repeats: 2nd 15.7.00; 2nd 5.4.03)

classic jamBing test piece at the grade (repeats: 22.3.03)

crap for the usual high standards at Frog

a full pitch, 45m (definitely not 25m!!)

THE classic Frog 18 (imo...) (repeats: lead 30.7.00; lead 2.6.01)

nice except for lichen

weird moves at the start & now 22 due to broken hold

more like 17 (repeats: lead 24.6.00; lead 15.7.00; 2nd 23.7.00; 2nd 24.8.00; 2nd 5.8.01)

nice short pumpy face (repeats: lead 1.7.00; lead 5.8.00; lea 18.3.01)

greasy & awkward (repeats: 4.6.00)

contary to appearances, the pro is bomber!! (repeats: 2nd 18.3.01)

not sustained, but beautiful climbing!! (repeats: lead 5.8.00; lead 2.6.01; 2nd 29.7.01)

excellent face route, a nice change from the cracks (repeats: lead 23.7.00)

spoilt but the curvey off-width

shame its not longer (repeats: lead 24.6.00; lead 22.3.03)

classic at the grade (repeats: lead 4.6.00; 2nd 1.7.00; 2nd 26.4.03)

shame its so short

good at the grade - worth seeking out (repeats: 2nd 6.7.00)

suprisingly good (repeats: lead 13.8.00)

(repeats: lead 2.6.01; lead 7.7.01)

(repeats: lead 1.7.99; lead 23.7.00; lead 26.5.01)

yuk

(repeats: lead 7.7.99; lead 22.8.99)

(repeats: 2nd 7.7.99; lead 18.3.01)

(repeats: 2nd 1.8.99)
