26 Chook Fear Trad 20m Frog Buttress Wed 6th Sep 2017
This is so easier than Barbedwire canoe! Still won't be rushing back to lead it. Relies on friable tiny flakes.

23 Midnight Lightning Trad 15m Frog Buttress Very Good Sun 7th Aug 2016
Definitely worth wandering around to. Packs in quite a bit of climbing, and had me on the edge of falling off a few times. Once I was only saved by falling into a shoulder jam! You can build a nest of micro gear from a good stance below the thinnest bit, then it is a bit committing to the roof. There's an anchor up right above the bolted arete.

Great climb, definitely the way to do the route

22 Slippin' Away Trad 13m Frog Buttress Good Thu 11th Aug 2016
Safe lead with many small cams (purple and green c3s at crux). Excitingly slippery, especial as it was spitting. Would be multiple stars if longer, but main corner is very short.

22 Thrutching is the Reward of Thrutching Trad 12m Frog Buttress Wed 29th Jun 2016
Just as we were trashed from Inquisition in the Rye, this turned out to be a desperate thrutch in a smooth v groove with poor locks, flared jams and fiddly gear. Might be anywhere from 18-28, who can grade this sort of thing?

25 Carrion Comfort Trad 25m Frog Buttress Classic Sun 6th Sep 2015
A great route, think of it as even better if you have short legs like me and have to actually climb the initial crack rather than bridge into LLL. Seems pretty soft for 25. Has an anchor above it now.

26 25 Future Tense Trad 40m Frog Buttress Classic Sun 6th Sep 2015
Technical climbing with lots of layaways and the odd poor jam or lock and a goey exit of crimpers and gastons. Seems pretty soft for 26 though.

21 Odin II (New and Improved Odin) Trad 30m Frog Buttress Very Good Sun 13th Aug 2017
Much better looking line now and surprisingly clean. No grot from the block, but a bit of grot in the crack. I had a 4, 5 and 6 in it, but you could get away with just 4s. Thrutched so hard I almost had a heart attack! Lou was happy to give it 22.

24 Plate Tectonics Mixed trad 18m, 2 Frog Buttress Mon 13th Jun 2016
I don't know about calling this brilliant. It's nice enough climbing, but you are on typical frog hollow sound flakey things a lot. Plus it's short and not really what I come to Frog for. A few very long moves and would be very exciting on lead.

22 24 Suicide City Trad 20m Frog Buttress Classic Sun 6th Sep 2015
Continually nails! Awesome 3 dimensional climbing, often funky, insecure and pumpy. Could do with an anchor. Placed a high runner rapping of HS.

24 Keep Left Trad 25m Frog Buttress Good Sun 6th Sep 2015
Very cool climbing, strenuous and balancy thin locks and layaway to a flaring offwidth in the back of the groove. Gear very thin and spaced down low.

20 Back Row Trad 30m Frog Buttress Good Sun 6th Aug 2017
A good 20m or so of climbing in the middle. Mank to get to the first corner and main crack, mank to get out to the lookout at the end. Probably worth finding if you have done lots of the other stuff at Frog though

20 Rack and Ruin Trad 40m Frog Buttress Don't Bother Sun 6th Aug 2017
The last 30m of this ruin all the goodness of the first 10m. Do yourself a favour and just climb straight up Lord of the Flies, which is a great route. Rock is generally terrifying the whole way up the corner and above and it's so close to LOTF that even my short legs could bridge into it at plenty of points along the way.

27 Catcher in the Rye Trad 25m Frog Buttress Very Good Mon 27th Jun 2016
The start of the route is almost impossible, the middle of the route is even more impossible, but then it becomes a really nice 23 ish thin hands crack. Kim Carrigan had the right idea with the 7 hex about half way up the route preplaced from Inquisition. Hard to imagine climbing this in 1979 in EBs.

27 Stand in Line Trad 28m Frog Buttress Sat 18th Jun 2016
Hard start, hard finish, tenuous and technical movement in between. Won't be trying to red point this on the limited gear available!

23 Inquisition in the Rye Trad 27m Frog Buttress Wed 29th Jun 2016
Fantastic sustained pitch and turned into quite the battle at the top. Might be 24 but I have taken a precautionary leaf from the Adam Demmert school of grading.

23 De Facto Trad 18m Frog Buttress Mon 13th Jun 2016
This is actually quite independent of MP - you have to make a purposeful step right to use MP. If leading, you might want to do that before heading up the arete for gear but on a nice friendly top rope, you don't touch MP at all. Quite nice climbing, although has a few typical Frog questionable but essential flakey face holds.

22 Highway Robbery by a Midget on a Shetland Trad 30m Frog Buttress Wed 17th Aug 2016
Really nice, sustained climbing. A little grotty but would clean up easily. Rock is much better than the other routes on the wall (until you join Angel Rider and its corner full of wedged blocks)

20 20 R Easy Rider Trad 40m Frog Buttress Don't Bother Wed 17th Aug 2016
Even done in classic Doug-point style of toproping the worst rock from gear placed from Hello Sailor, this is still an exciting undertaking in negotiating choss.

 
1713 points
23 Deliverance Trad 45m Frog Buttress Sun 6th Sep 2015
Don't know about some of the best gear at Frog. Maybe you should look at DD and C. Can get decent gear in the pin scars, but placing ground up would be difficult to get in around your fingers. The twin crack section is hard to see into the cracks to place the gear.

20 Cannabis Crack Trad 40m Frog Buttress Very Good Mon 27th Jun 2016
I wasn't sure I was enjoying this at the time, but by the time Douglas had finished seconding, I was convinced it was an awesome route. Thin and steep to start, then pleasantly featured lower groove gives way to thrutchfest 2016 up the butt smooth section. Great training for the valley! Good rock, great line, sustained climbing, go beat yourself up on it.

20 Yokomo Trad 15m Frog Buttress Good Wed 15th Jun 2016
This would easily be a one star route if it didn't have the ledge in the middle of it. There's actually nothing reachy about the start, it's just technical, a bit fiddly to place gear and fairly sustained for the all of 5 m or so to the ledge.

This is a walk in the park after Gone and Forgotten. Pleasant technical climbing, glad I wasn't leading though.

25 Paranoia Trad 25m Frog Buttress Good Sun 13th Aug 2017
Sadly disappointed with this. the rock is crap to start and the climbing dodges around the line in too many places. The route with the chopped bolts beside it was so close that the chalk suggests that is how everyone climbs paranoia. The gear is remarkably ok after the start however.

25 Barbed-wire Canoe Trad 27m Frog Buttress Classic Sun 6th Aug 2017
The original description of an eternal purgatory of desperation is correct! Feels grades harder than Carrion Comfort, Impulse or Wild One. Gear also bloody exciting. Impressive alzeimer's lead by Adam

25 Bongo Gongo Wasto Ergo Sum Trad 20m Frog Buttress Good Sun 6th Aug 2017
Probably even more desperate than BWC, made all the more exciting by being less trafficed and less clean. Fixed gear is woeful.

19 20 Nymphet's Crack Trad 32m Frog Buttress Good Sun 6th Aug 2017
Seems more like 21 ish. nice clean offwidth, then techy shallow corner with some friable rock to tree, gear is a bit spaced at one point. Desperate mantle onto ledge where an anchor would really add to the route, but you have to climb a grotty 3m then over choss to anchor above satiricon. Def worth doing if you have run out of classics at the grade though.

22 Satsang Mixed trad 5m, 1 Frog Buttress Average Sun 6th Aug 2017
Terribly contrived mini variant where even my midget legs can reach back into the chimney. Not really worth bothering with unless you want a bee line straight to the Yankee anchors.

21 Plummeting Pineapple (Plummeting Pinapple) Trad 35m Frog Buttress Don't Bother Tue 29th Aug 2017
Started up on lead, but gear is small, fiddly and not abundant, retreated and TRed, happy to have bailed as the rock gets progressively worse. Don't climb the left face of the shitty corner, after a massive flat top flexed on me, the shitty corner looked great. Some good (and really quite difficult) moves down low though.

19 Psychedelic Apricot Pitch Two Trad 25m Frog Buttress Good Sun 7th Aug 2016
This one was way better than I expected - there was only 1 section where I thought it was particularly dodgy. Overall, the climbing was good and I've climbed on worse rock. Some of it was at Frog too.

19 Monty Python's Flying Circus Trad 25m Frog Buttress Good Mon 27th Jun 2016
With a triple rack of micro wires, there was enough gear at the start but it never gets wide enough for micro cams. Kind of annoying in that you are all focused on finding gear and not really on climbing. The top corner is quite nice but a long way off top quality Frog offerings.

22 Bloody Mary Trad 16m Frog Buttress Don't Bother Mon 27th Jun 2016
Nice enough, easy for grade climbing but remarkably bad rock fro the entire length of the route. No gear at start and all subsequent gear in manky rock. Easy to top rope after Rickety Kate. Completely hazardous to lead.

18 Ethicmans Dilemma Trad 22m Frog Buttress Good Sun 13th Aug 2017
Why this gets such a bad rap in Andrew Martin's guide, I don't know. Gear is absolutely fine. Rock is ok by Frog standards, better than plenty of other routes. CLimbing is pretty good. Defnitely not R and probably not 18.

Sadly, I found this route much nicer on the eye than it was to climb. Super thin and painful and feels pretty hazardous on the tendons. It wouldn't blink if it was given 25. The top half was much more enjoyable when I stopped feeling terrified of hurting myself.

18 Last Picture Show Trad 22m Frog Buttress Don't Bother Mon 15th Aug 2016
This turned into one of the greater battles of the trip - if you have short legs, you can't bridge out to the would be very helpful ridge on the right wall and you get to thrucht desperately up a flaring offwidth. 6 camalot very very nice to have. This is all ok though, the problem is the unavoidable death block near the top.

18 Angel Rider Trad 50m Frog Buttress Thu 11th Aug 2016
Be prepared to for climbing and protection in large wedged blocks of varying security with a difficult and exciting exit. Not really a 2 star route, but nice enough climbing in a good position if you are confident at the grade on dodgy rock.

18 Sacrilege Crack Trad 25m Frog Buttress Very Good Wed 15th Jun 2016
This turned out to be great fun - quite sustained climbing, a little bit of typical Frog weird flaky stuff jammed in the crack, and the offwidth is not really very offwidthy with plenty of face holds around it. Shuffling a 4 and 5 is adequate but a second of either would be better.

17 Chunder Crack Trad 30m Frog Buttress Very Good Wed 6th Sep 2017
I really enjoyed this. It didn't need all 3 of the 6 camalots I carried up it, but you can use a bunch of 2-5s. It's probably not the 20 it is given in Andrew Martin's guide.

 
1327 points
20 Holy Grail Trad 25m Frog Buttress Tue 15th Aug 2017
There are a few routes the Andrew Martin guide denigrates that I think are great, but on this route, we are in total agreement. Started up on lead, got past the boot flake, which is as bad as it looks, only to discover higher up in the crack, a 20cm diameter pillar you can see behind, which is what you climb on and place gear behind. Decided that bailing was the better part of valour and lowered off the gear in better rock below. Had a TR to rescue gear, top out is filthy as well. Maybe some of Damo's judicious trundling will make a decent route of it?

20 Catharsis Trad 20m Frog Buttress Very Good Sun 7th Aug 2016
lots of fun the whole way, pretty cruisy, lots of features around the offwidth, only needing a few stacked hands at the top. Shuffled 2 x 6 camalots a lot.
