An absolutely excellent little adventure with sustained and varied climbing to keep you on your toes all the way to the top. Maybe the best 20 at frog? The cherry on top was getting stung on the face by a wasp midway through the cruxy stem chimney section. Remember to pack aeroguard and a fly swat for your next ascent.
|
|||||||
20 | ★★ Termination - with Natalia Castoldi | 18m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
The pro looks absolutely rubbish from the ground but good gear arrives every time you need it. Great face climbing with a few nice jams thrown in for good measure.

Scratching an itch that’s been with me since late last year. Glad to say this thing is bloody brilliant!
Text book example of why I think the mid-20s grades at Frog are where some of its best climbing is: sustained, graceful and technical climbing where the crack is only really there for pro. All moves -2 free and linked from ground to halfway. Maybe 75% of the gear sorted? Probably need another two size-1 ball nuts to make it sane. Will be a pink point route for me, gear finicky af to place on lead. |

Pretty stoked to have sent this on my second attempt. The goal was to just take the step from seconding it and make it through the crux haha. Watching Lauren crush Epic Journey definitely provided the psych

Goal today was to climb past the 3rd piece... But there was so much friction compared to last week I just kept pushing to the top😅😎

Jumped on it after a lot of hesitation and, well, wasn't committed enough 😅
Only climbed about a meter before retreating (just enough to spoil my flash/onsight). I'll be back for it once the psyche is higher

Preferred the 19 start to this, a mi no me gustó!

14 | ★★ Electronic Flag | 40m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Haven't been on EF in a hot minute but immediately noticed the big block sitting precariously right side (climber's right) in crack at the top. How long has that been sitting there? Looks like it's fallen out from the back of the crack and resting on not much, made for quite uneasy climbing. Thought to trundle with no one else climbing this arvo but not best practice without spotters. On a popular route such as EF it could be very dangerous to be left as is, don't think I'm exaggerating the risk either.

Intense belaying as Alex laybacked/face climbed the ow start, not an ow technique in sight! The hardest climbing he did all day.
Sat to check out a stuck green totem down low, would come out with a little effort. |

Happy to get through the start first try on second, but Kyle put it best when he said it was like being a slippery gecko. Some sticky slappy climbing! You are duly rewarded up above with some seriously stellar climbing. Piton is in good nic and ready for stick-clipping.
|
|||||||
21 | ★★★ Conquistador - with Kyle Addy | 45m | |||||
3rd climb of the morning, and felt way better on this! Less shaky and pumped out than infinity. Love being reminded by how classic some of the Frog routes are. We are blessed!

19 | ★★★ Infinity - with Kyle Addy | 40m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
So bloody great getting back out with Kyle again! And it was very welcome being back on rock - even despite the heat. Lovely morning. Felt shaky and weak, but a happy man.
