22 Dave Mank's Electric Gorilla Direct Start Trad 10m Frog Buttress Very Good Sat 20th Jun 2015
A bit ambitious. Toe slipped & I peeled, struggled to trust myself after that.

21 Fluid Journey Trad 40m Frog Buttress Very Good Sat 12th Jul 2014
Brutal. Couple of very desperate moves in the middle. Tree at the top is pretty awkward.

20 Erg Trad 25m Frog Buttress Mega Classic Sun 15th Jun 2014

20 Catharsis Trad 20m Frog Buttress Sun 15th Apr 2018
A bit sketch in the middle, but a great climb!

 
20 Revisited Mixed trad 30m, 5 Kaputar Very Good Sun 25th Apr 2021

20 The Chris Mann Route Mixed trad 99m, 23 Mt Tibrogargan Classic Sat 25th Jul 2015
Intended to do sunburnt buttress, didn't go left after the first belay and ended up this instead. Pitch 3 is excellent - highly recommended.

19 Electronic Flag DS - RHS (Electronic Flag DS) Trad 10m Frog Buttress Very Good Sun 19th Apr 2015
40m of this would be rough.

19 Mis Taken Trad 18m Kaputar Classic Sat 31st Mar 2018

19 Sunburnt Buttress Trad 190m Mt Tibrogargan Very Good Sun 15th Sep 2019
Fun rambling line - but at times the route taken seems a little bit arbitrary. Climbing is mostly pleasant and on good rock, the traversing is novel. Enough spice to keep things interesting.

 
19 The Kiwi Experience Trad 12m Frog Buttress Very Good Sat 20th Sep 2014
Cool climb! A little bit dirty in places, and the precarious looking death block is a little concerning.

18 Noose Trad 22m Frog Buttress Very Good Sun 14th Sep 2014
Pretty cool moves

 
18 Dave Manks Electric Gorilla Trad 20m Frog Buttress Very Good Sun 14th Sep 2014

Feels very tenuous!

 
18 Arknamton 2 Trad 30m Frog Buttress Good Sat 20th Sep 2014
Kinda cool. Would recommend rapping off the tree as corner up to the top is dirty as all hell.

 
18 Fluid / Epic Link Up Trad 30m Frog Buttress Classic Sat 25th Apr 2015
still a nice climb

 
18 Chocolate Watch Band Trad 17m Frog Buttress Classic Sun 15th Apr 2018

18 Bay Play Trad 10m Frog Buttress Very Good Sat 12th Jul 2014
Face climbing at Frog, weird.

 
18 Fast Eddie Trad 15m Frog Buttress Very Good Sat 12th Jul 2014
Nice climb. There's a big loose flake near the top.

17 Side-pocket Shot Trad 15m Frog Buttress Very Good Sun 4th May 2014
Good fun!

 
16 17 Fat Mattress Trad 30m Frog Buttress Very Good Sat 9th May 2015

17 If Trad 30m Frog Buttress Good Sun 30th Jun 2019

A bit thrutchy.

 
17 Night Moves Mixed trad 30m, 14 Kaputar Very Good Mon 2nd Apr 2018
Awesome climbing with an interesting style. Lots of loose dirt & small loose flakes on the face. If it gets more traffic it could clean up into a classic. No trad gear necessary.

First pitch only. Pretty good, rock quality was OK. Found the belay ledge very uncomfortable.

 
17 The Martian Mixed trad 320m, 22 Mt Beerwah Very Good Sun 12th Sep 2021
An enjoyable outing. Last couple of pitches were a bit of a sting the tail after the pleasant rambling of the rest of the climb - they were also the cleanest & best pitches on the climb, so it wasn't all bad. Pitch lengths listed here seem accurate - pitch 4&5 run together left me pulling against rope stretch to clip into the anchor (using 60m half ropes).

16 Materialistic Prostitution Trad 20m Frog Buttress Classic Sun 12th Apr 2015
Pretty sure I've done this before. Kinda stressful.

 
16 Winston Alley Trad 10m Frog Buttress Very Good Sun 4th May 2014
Nice climb Lots of easy gear, good stances. Almost busted a gut on the final mantle.

 
16 Century Trad 15m Frog Buttress Very Good Mon 6th Oct 2014
Excellent gear... didn't want to leave the tree though. Good climb!

Nice climb, more face holds than most things at frog.

 
16 Ruby Of India Trad 210m Mt Maroon Classic Sun 26th Oct 2014
Super cool! Pitch 5 was my fave - lots of big jugs and excellent sharp crimps. I think I did far more bush bashing than I should have on the lower pitches.

15 16 R Insomnia Mixed trad 18m, 4 Kangaroo Point Don't Bother Sun 18th Aug 2013
Didn't really enjoy it. Took a rest after the second bolt as I got sketched out by the potential groundfall.

16 Bottled Neat Trad 53m Kaputar Good Sat 24th Apr 2021

little bit go-ey in the crux, fun though

 
15 Mechanical Prune Trad 18m Frog Buttress Very Good Sun 15th Jun 2014
A nice little climb. Found myself desperately searching for some sort of pro a few times, but it's all there. Cool committing finish.

 
15 Rest Area Ahead Trad 10m Frog Buttress Average Sun 19th Jul 2015
was ok? CWB is probably the best way up to plume ledge.

 
15 Bad Company Trad 20m Frog Buttress Very Good Sun 24th May 2015
so many good nut placements!

 
15 Pixel Princess Trad 15m Frog Buttress Sun 3rd May 2015
Not as shit as it looks. It looks pretty shit though, so that's not saying much.

 
15 Devil's Wart Trad 27m Frog Buttress Classic Sun 29th Mar 2015
Worth the stars! The cave is very cool.

Some nice jams, excellent pro.

 
15 David Mac Mixed trad 18m, 3 Kangaroo Point Good Tue 3rd Mar 2015
Trying to cram a fat nylon sling down that hole was fun. Worked better once I got passed my nut tool.

 
15 Breakfast at Tiffany's Mixed trad 18m, 5 Kangaroo Point Good Tue 9th Apr 2019
couldn't find a good flow in the first half, but the top half was fun.

 
15 Icehouse Trad 40m Mt Ngungun Classic Sat 27th Jun 2015
Very nice route! Long, fairly sustained & quite interesting climbing. Wigged out a bit climbing through the crux above a couple of hilariously shit cams.

14 Electric Lead Trad 26m Frog Buttress Good Sat 9th May 2015
easy one to finish off the day

 
14 Shit Heap Trad 10m Frog Buttress Good Sat 20th Jun 2015
if it was 40m it'd be a stonking route

 
14 Theory Trad 25m Frog Buttress Classic Sun 12th Apr 2015
Awesome climb, pretty stiff at the grade.

 
14 Electronic Flag Trad 40m Frog Buttress Very Good Sun 19th Apr 2015
