18 | ★★ Gladiator | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
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.

20 | ★★★ Devils Dihedral | 45m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
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!!

21 | ★★★ Conquistador | 45m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
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.

16 | ★★★ Satan's Smokestack | 40m | ★★ Very Good | |||
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.
|
||||||
20 | ★★ Footloose and Falling Free | 11m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Brilliant pumpy climbing with decent pro. Aliens are useful in the thin parallel crack through the crux.
|
||||||
19 | ★★ Hollywood Rattlesnake | 18m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really very nice. Plenty of good gear and did the whole climb with only wires and one hex. Well worth the effort.

21 | ★★ Warlock DS | 26m | ★★ Very Good | |||
I reckon it's 20. Difficult, but not 21.
|
||||||
17 16 | ★★ Micron | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
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.
|
||||||
18 | ★★ Warlock | 26m | ★★ Very Good | |||
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.

19 18 | ★★★ Plume | 25m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Great climb. It was my first for the day and so it pumped me big time. Great climbing and great gear.
|
||||||
20 | ★★ Termination | 18m | ★★ Very Good | |||
What a great climb. A few wierd moves, but great climbing and ample gear. Definately deserves a star.
|
||||||
20 | ★★★ Piranha | 45m | ★★★ Classic | |||
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.
|

6 | ★ Saturday Afternoon Walk | 15m | ★ Good | |||
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.

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

20 | ★★ The Great Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine | 33m | ★★★ Classic | |||
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!
|
||||||
19 | ★★ Sorcerer's Apprentice | 30m | ★★★ Classic | |||
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.

18 | ★★★ Iron Mandible | 24m | ★★★ Classic | |||
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.

14 | ★★ Electronic Flag | 40m | ★★★ Classic | |||
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!

15 | ★ Bad Company | 20m | ★ Good | |||
Very nice corner with plenty of good face holds to keep your feet out of the crack. Need no large gear.
|
||||||
18 | ★★ Elastic RURP | 20m | ★★★ Classic | |||
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.

West of the access track | ||||||
17 | ★★★ Smoked Banana | 40m | ★★★ Classic | |||
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.

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

14 | ★ Orchid Alley | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
really nice moves, varied with a tricky mantle thrown in on the left finish line.

12 | ★ Witches Cauldron Pitch 2 (Witches Cauldron) | 18m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very first climb at Frog, and it felt a little harder than the grade. It seems thats normal!
|
||||||
13 | ★★ Clockwork Orange Corner | 15m | ★ Good | |||
Tricky start! Nice moves throughout but deserves only one star though.
