Ascents in Frog Buttress as various tick types by Jill

Crux move is a bit spicy for a 14 but it wasn't too stressful for Jayne and I's first trad leads in forever.

I was determined to get the big girl pants on and get back to leading and I was happy to lead this one clean. Not an onsight technically but I definitely didn't remember anything about climbing it in the past.

I didn't bring a yellow cam by accident so protecting the top was a super dodgy overcammed blue which was only providing psychological safety haha. Bring a yellow ha!

I really enjoyed this climb (on second haha)

This climb felt nails for a 15! The crux was committing and I had to move through it quickly on second, it would have been an intimidating lead! Great job Olga!

Whenever I haven't led trad for a while I inevitably end up on this or parsons pleasure. I've lost count of how many times I have ended up back practicing placing gear on WC. At least the step over to the pillar at the top is still a thrill!

I think I got this clean but I am not 100% sure. Super old log now. I remember being sooo impressed by Grace's lead of this, especially the chockstones up the top. I think my big feet finally helped with something because the body crack wasn't too difficult to feel secure. Such great variety!

I really loved the variety of this climb. Top section has some great exposure and the whole climb has through provoking moments split up by good rest stances.

I've climbed this a few times now and I remember I was stoked to get it clean on second the first time (and every time after) one day I will lead it, one day...

Really enjoyed this climb!

First ever trad lead! So exciting!

Pretty forgettable climb... wasn't horrible but nothing special either.

Fun climb, probably next on my lead list.. top section was a bit hair raising stepping over the gap! Pretty easy though.

I obviously don't know how to climb this properly because it felt way harder than a 15... didn't really enjoy it. But it's probably just me Could have also been because Reuben needs to place better gear and I was scared thinking of his lead as I was seconding! eek darling!

Yay getting back into the tradding. Wasn't even scared. Which is massive for me at frog haha.

Yes! Mega mental breakthrough for me. I felt like I actually committed to this and moved from, refusing to lead a trad climb I thought I might fall on, to trying to onsite something I had no idea if I could climb well above my previous trad onsite grade (9) haha. SO CHUFFED! Also a really nice climb. Can't wait to repeat it. Bomber gear. ZING!
