	18	★★ Gladiator - with Paul	Trad 20m	★★★ Classic
Pissing down rain, but it never rains at Frog. So must have been a figment of my imagination. Paul forgot his shoes and helmet. So all in all there were a few signs telling us this wouldn’t be the day we’d hoped for.

	20	★★ Sleight of Hand - with Paul	Trad 8m	★ Good
Yep, top roping at Frog. Nice moves. Not much splitting this and lord drool in difficulty.

Nice

	21	★★★ The One That Got Away - with Tom Semple, paul	Trad 35m	★★★ Classic
Super awesome climb.
	21	★★★ Conquistador - with Tom Semple, paul	Trad 45m	★★★ Mega Classic
Pretty happy to get this today. Such an amazing climb and my first trad climb at the grade. If you’re going to have half a day at frog in two years, this was a good way to spend it.
	18	★★★ Iron Mandible - with Tom Semple, paul	Trad 24m	★★★ Classic
Finally ticked this. Has been a nemesis for years.

	18	★★★ Iron Mandible - with Paul, Tyler	Trad 24m	★★★ Classic
Memory jog burn
	18	★★★ Iron Mandible - with Paul, Tyler	Trad 24m	★★★ Classic
A lot better than my last aweful attempt. Matched my best effort but still had a silly barn-dooring fall just below the diagonal.
	19	★★ Sorcerers Apprentice - with Paul, Tyler	Trad 30m	★★ Very Good
Bottom definitely has some rock to be wary of. The top three quarters is stunning as always.

	19	★★★ Infinity - with Tom Semple	Trad 40m	★★★ Mega Classic
Awesome
	17	★★★ Smoked Banana - with Tom Semple	Trad 40m	★★★ Classic
Been a while between drinks on this one after a big gear popping fall on my last attempt a few years ago. Not sure what all the fuss was about now. Great climb. Even enjoyed the squeeze chimney.
	19	★★ Drop Out - with Tom Semple	Trad 24m	★★★ Classic
Great to get on something new. Good jambing and bridging. Really enjoyable.
	16	★★ Drop-out Direct Finish - with Tom Semple	Trad 7m	★★★ Classic

	16	★★ Micron - with Paul	Trad 20m	★★★ Classic
Bit meh. Top bit wasn't as hard as I remembered. Plenty of good feet.
	20	★★ Footloose and Falling Free - with Paul	Trad 11m	★★★ Classic
Really nice little climb. Holds are all there, just need to get the body position and gear right, to avoid pumping out.

	18	★★★ Iron Mandible - with Phil	Trad 24m	★★★ Classic
Ugh. Got smashed by this. Too out of shape.
	16	★★★ Satans Smokestack - with Phil	Trad 40m	★★★ Mega Classic
Second time in as many months. Great climb.
	18	★★ Gladiator - with Phil	Trad 20m	★★★ Mega Classic

West of the access track
	17 18	★★ Elastic RURP - with Tom Semple	Trad 20m	★★★ Classic
Love this climb. Always saves that sting for you at the end. Good way to get a bit of a lead head back after a heap of time away. Definitely not an 18 though.
	19	★★★ Thor - with Tom Semple	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic
Always great.
	20	★★★ Odin - with Tom Semple	Trad 30m	★★★ Mega Classic
Not sure how I've avoided this for so long. Absolute classic. Awesome jambing and mega exposure.
Sat 9th May 2015 - Frog Buttress
East of the access track
	23	★★★ Satanic Majesty - with Tom Semple	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic
Balancy moves on the traverse then got shut down on the crux. I'm sure the crack above had some awesome moves, but in my haze of exhaustion didn't notice. Take more #2 & #3's than you think.
	20	★★ Rack and Ruin - with Tom Semple	Trad 40m	★★★ Classic
Yep, tough 20. Some might even say a 21 I didn't fall off though, so probably not. Take heaps of finger size cams. Tricky off-balance moves the whole way.
Sat 25th Apr 2015 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
	19	★ Humility - with Tom Semple	Trad 15m	★★ Very Good
Cool little climb and a new way to get to the ledge.
	16	★ Integrated Injection Logic - with Tom Semple	Trad 15m	★★ Very Good
Big wasps nest shut me down at the start, so went up Faki then cut across. Cool route with heaps of pro (unlike the guide says). For some reason ended up topping out through Termination.
	22	★★★ Old Guard - with Tom Semple	Trad 40m	★★★ Mega Classic
Amazing! Great onsight from Tom. One fall on second.
	20	★★ Keed Spills - with Tom Semple	Trad 15m	★★★ Classic
I think this is how Tom ended up finishing up OG. Awesome way to finish.

East of the access track
	16	★ Sabrasucker - with Tom Semple, Adam	Trad 25m	★★ Very Good
Nice. Has a tricky couple of sequences. According to the description maybe have finished the wrong way. Ended up on top of the pillar shared with Famous Cosmetics.
	20	★★ Egotistical Pineapple (Egotistical Pinapple) - with Tom Semple, Adam	Trad 14m	★★★ Classic
Seconded clean last year. Not so this time. Cool route. Need to climb more.

	13	★ Tardis - with Tom Semple	Trad 10m	★★ Very Good
	20	★★★ Rickety Kate - with Tom Semple	Trad 15m	★★★ Mega Classic
	19	★★ Monty Pythons Flying Circus - with Tom Semple	Trad 25m	★★ Very Good
Cool route. Start is as sketchy as it looks. Pulled on gear to get through it quickly.
Sat 14th Mar 2015 - Frog Buttress
East of the access track
	17	★★ Blood, Sweat and Tears - with Tom Semple	Trad 40m	★★★ Classic
Great climb. Quite a lot of jambing with a couple of tricky bulges.
	20	★★ Corner of Eden - with Tom Semple	Trad 35m	★★★ Classic
Hmm. So much for easing into the season. Bit of a sandbag, but brilliant, unique and technical climbing the whole way.
	11	★ Parson's Pleasure - with Tom Semple	Trad 10m	★ Good
	15	Pop-up Toaster - with Tom Semple	Trad 6m	★ Good
Not particularly worth the trip.
Sat 17th Jan 2015 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
	18	★★ Gladiator	Trad 20m	★★★ Mega Classic
First climb back at Frog for a while. Always good to start on. Saw a bat up at the belay.
	16	★ Electric Banana - with Paul	Trad 40m	★★ Very Good
Pretty good. Thought provoking protection options down low. Bit manky, but looking past that it has some good moves.
	19	★★ Magical Mystery Tour - with Tom Semple	Trad 34m	★★ Very Good
Awesome climb. Reminded me of Erg. Not sure if my fitness is lacking, but this felt harder than a 19.
Fri 14th Nov 2014 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
	18	★ Hells Angel - with Tom	Trad 40m	★★ Very Good
Nice climb. Better on second than lead. Less worrying about placing gear in the crappy rock.
	23	★ Baby Staysharp - with Tom	Sport 7m, 2	★★★ Classic
Classic midget route. Had a few hangs.
	20	★★ Footloose and Falling Free - with Tom	Trad 11m	★★★ Classic
Awesome little climb. As usual with Frog, it is more technical for the grade because of the shorter length. Stuffed around trying to put cams two sizes too big in cracks... Happy to push past the "wanting to come down and whimper" feeling and got to the top.

East of the access track
	18	★ Noose - with Mike	Trad 22m	★ Good
Grunty climb with plenty of off hands and loose rock.
	17	★ Erectile Kingpin - with Adam	Trad 16m	★★ Very Good
Always cool
	10	★ Sunday Afternoon Walk - with Maree	Trad 12m	★ Good
Putting up a rope for Maree's first climb at Frog
	20	★ Trap for Young Players - with Paul	Trad 11m	★ Good
Gear placement positions are vital. Scary few moves above a blue alien, then scary again above the ledge to the tree.

West of the access track
	21	★★★ Cock Corner - with Tom	Trad 30m	★★★ Mega Classic
Stunning corner crack to the ledge. The moves above this lived up to their reputation and more.
	21	★★ Oppenheimers Monster - with Tom	Mixed trad 25m, 2	★★★ Classic
Nice change of scene at Frog. Excellent face moves. The entire top third of the pillar is held together by magic.
	18	★★★ Iron Mandible - with Tom	Trad 24m	★★★ Classic
Another one of those climbs that has had an aura ever since my first few visits to Frog. After stuffing around way to much with gear down the bottom got to the fists only to have a foot slip out. Happy to have a go though.
Sun 28th Sep 2014 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
	21	★★★ Juggernaut - with Tom	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic
Way more enjoyable than I thought it would be (on second ). Top section was pretty nails hard. Brilliant, ballsy lead by Tom with limited big gear.
	18	★★ Gladiator - with Tom	Trad 20m	★★★ Mega Classic
Warm Up
	20	★★ Satyricon - with Tom	Trad 35m	★★★ Classic
First onsight at the grade. Brilliant bridging and jambing. Didn't have enough hex's, takes heaps.

West of the access track
	20	★★★ Piranha - with Tom	Trad 45m	★★★ Classic
Awesome. Great 3D moves up the chimney.
	19	★★ Sorcerer's Apprentice - with Tom	Trad 30m	★★ Very Good
Still found this tough and sustained, but managed to stubbornly plug my way to the top.
	22	★★★ Yankee Go Home - with Tom	Trad 26m	★★ Very Good
Yep, still hard... Just checking. Excellent onsight by Tom.

East of the access track
	20	★★ Famous Cosmetics - with Tom	Trad 40m	★★★ Classic
The guide is dead on for this one. Had a few awkward falls below the first ledge before figuring it out. Beautiful crack climbing above.
	17 16	★ Horse-drawn Zeppelin - with Tom	Trad 12m	★ Good
Great climb. Harder than Side-pocket Shot I thought. First time back on this in ages.
	16 17	★ Side-pocket Shot - with Tom	Trad 15m	★ Good
Maybe 17 if you do less bridging off HDZ and use less of its crack for hands.
	21	★★ The Stars Look Down - with Tom	Trad 18m	★★★ Mega Classic
Stunning. Happy to get this clean on second first shot.

	18	★★★ Resurrection Corner - with Knut	Trad 25m	★★★ Mega Classic
Love it. Knut puts in another great lead.
	17	★ King Shits and Dead Shits - with Tom	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good
Cool alternative start to LLL. Definitely a bit trickier than the original.

West of the access track
	21	★★★ Conquistador - with Tom	Trad 45m	★★★ Mega Classic
One rest on second this time. Still couldn't stick the crux first go.
	20	★★★ Devils Dihedral - with Tom	Trad 45m	★★★ Mega Classic
Yes!! Super proud to red point this classic. C30 challenge 6 of 6! Was blowing hard after the crux. Recomposed enough on the ledge to finish up the beautiful moves above.
	19	★★★ Infinity - with Knut	Trad 40m	★★★ Mega Classic
Knut lead this in great style. Always a pleasure.
	22	★★★ Lonely Teardrops - with Tom	Trad 22m	★★★ Classic
Wow. What an excellent route. Scary mantle.

	17	★★ Neon Philharmonic - with Tom	Trad 35m	★★★ Classic
Love this climb. Would be better with less ledges in the top half, but still awesome.
	17 18	★★ Elastic RURP - with Tom	Trad 20m	★★★ Classic
Awesome jambing the whole way.
	18	★★★ Iron Mandible - with Tom	Trad 24m	★★★ Classic
First time clean
	14	★★ Electronic Flag - with Tom	Trad 40m	★★★ Classic
So much bang for your buck for a 14
	18	★★ Fluid / Epic Link Up - with Tom	Trad 30m	★★ Very Good
Awesome
	19	★★★ Thor - with Tom	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic
	18	★ Saffron Crack - with Tom	Trad 40m

	22	★★★ Black Light - with Tom	Trad 25m	★★★ Mega Classic
Absolutely stunning! Start was hard, the rest was pure joy with amazing finger locking and jambing on grippy rock.
