Ascents in Frog Buttress as various tick types as trad by Dave

Quite a technical crux section. 10-Oct-04 Hugh fell 5m on this middle part. Finally got on this climb to lead it and found it a relative breeze.

Absolutely brilliant climbing, that never relents in both class or its grade. There are a few rests but it still tests your endurance. I thought I wasn't up for it, but figured what the hell.... ended up cruising it.... made me feel GOOD!!

Incredible climb. I really need to lead this before the end of the year. It's all there and just classy climbing the whole way. I bit tricky turning the corner into the fist jams. You also have to just motor through the overhanging crack through the good holds. Great climb!! Seconded Jamie.

Very thrutchy but it seems to grow on you the further you go. The move outside the wide crack down low is a bit hairy. Worth doing but I wouldn't rave about it.

Brilliant pumpy climbing with decent pro. Aliens are useful in the thin parallel crack through the crux.

Really very nice. Plenty of good gear and did the whole climb with only wires and one hex. Well worth the effort.

I reckon it's 20. Difficult, but not 21.

Great climb, but not worth three stars. The start is a grovel and the great moves only last 10m. Worth doing though. Funny I haven't done it already.

A great line and I reckon only worthy if it's done direct. Why would you climb a great line by using the start of another climb? Gotta be done direct and I reckon solid 20 start.

Seconded Chris and enjoyed it quite a lot, except the difficult start. One day I'll give it a go on lead.

Only reason we did this was to fill in the remainder of the day after being on EP. Fairly crappy and a worthless top out. Rap off the big tree above to the right.

Great climb. It was my first for the day and so it pumped me big time. Great climbing and great gear.

What a great climb. A few wierd moves, but great climbing and ample gear. Definately deserves a star.

An absolute stunning climb, with almost all the moves in the book. Long but has three good rests. Thinkabout it and you won't get pumped. Great gear all the way, except the bottom 7m is a bit fiddly.

Bumbled up this climb to get to the ledges above. Quite nice for a beginner, I reckon. The short 5m corner above to the Termination ledge is a great continuation for beginners too.

Lead it with no difficulty. Had seconded it on the last outing.

Great Position, good for photos. Nice line. Deserves a star! Get gear in soon to prevent factor 2.

Love this climb! I think Phil climbed this one bare foot!

Fantastic. The best route I've done so far at Frog. It spooked me for months and now I've done it!

Seconded Phil. Better than what the guide makes out. Almost worth a star, I reckon.

Better than the description lets out. Direct start is more like 17 or 18.

Fantastic Climb that deserves two stars. If you can get past the initial off-width. The face and crack work above is beyond comprehension. Awesome! Do it, do it!

had to climb it after photographing Andy on it. next time I'll lead it for the redpoint. Awesome climb with a thought-provoking crux on gear that needs to be well placed. The top section is fantastic and well protected. Lead it on 22-05-05. Cruised it!

Seconded Troy so that I could get up to the ledge and abseil off the side of The Stars Look Down and photograph Andy.

What can I say, but do it if you're climbing 20, because it's a very strenuous 19. It's well worth it though. Jamming and the occasional needed face hold.

Felt comfortable. Little tough in places but plenty of good feet. Save some energy for the hand jam finish. Look for face holds to mix it up a bit. Awesome climb.

Absolute classic climb with exposure max! Thought provoking traverse gets you ento the enjoyable finger crack with plenty of pro. Set of wires and a couple of small cams is all you need.

fantastic line! Wish I now had the chance to have onsighted it! Ah well. We actually climbed the direct start (17). Update: Lead it finally with the direct start. Didn't remember it being so much fun!

Very nice corner with plenty of good face holds to keep your feet out of the crack. Need no large gear.

Excellent climbing with a couple of sustained 4 meter sections but good rests all the way. Has all the moves and deserves another star, and soft for the grade.

Great climbing, with ample rests to negotiate the two major cruxes, one low and one through the bulge. Great gear all the way. The chockstones are bommer and the squirm chimney relents to easier squirming the higher you go.

Becoming very pumped down low unfortunately set me up for a long, endurious pumpfest on the enjoyable moves through the bulgey flake. Great pro, but I still sketched out!

Nice line. Comfortable.

Great climb which probably deserves a star.

Absolutely fantastic for its grade! A great direct line with an interesting finish!

really nice moves, varied with a tricky mantle thrown in on the left finish line.

not too bad. Lead it 22-05-05

Felt pretty good, especially after a mental battle between brain and body at the crux. The body won! 14?

Very first climb at Frog, and it felt a little harder than the grade. It seems thats normal!

Tricky start! Nice moves throughout but deserves only one star though.
