This was my first lead at frog 3 years ago. So to come back and not be scared out of my mind was good. Top is still a grovel

Holy moly. That finish! Sah much thrutching and grunting in the off-width. You know you’re warming up at Frog when the 15 has that much grunting and chicken-winging in it. Mint.

	15	★ Illusion - with Joel Kite, Alastair Osment	Trad 23m	Frog Buttress	Average	Walter Kite	Thu 13th Aug 2020
This was an onsite attempt. The beta is correct. It's pretty ugly getting out of the cave. Had a fall when a No 6 Cam busted out.
