Ascents by Olga K. having Distinct route

Quite nice climbing for the first two thirds of the climb. Some great exposed moved in the middle. I regretted not bringing hexes. The last portion felt more like a technical scramble and wasn't great for protection, so I just ended up running it out, but I'm sure it could be protected if you wanted to. Belayed off a tree at the top (near the top-out), but it didn't feel ideal. The tree certainly doesn't deserve all the rope pulling. Would have been nice to have the actual anchors - otherwise would certainly do it again.

Great lead by Mary! Was very glad to rediscover this excellent climb.

Good access route to the ledge

I always remembered the climbing quite cruisy on this one (other than the 17 or the 19 start), so decided to do the easy start this time... Let's just say it wasn't as "cruisy" this time around... after heading for the wrong crack, whipping on a moving chock stone and completely shattering my ego, I'd say I would never dare to think of any climb at frog as "cruisy"...lol

Great climb!

Pleasant surprise it was available on a cool Sunday morning... Great way to start the day!

What a journey it has been! After coming to frog for the very first time a little over two years ago, I could have never imagined that one day I would be ticking this absolute classic - best climb in the freaking world!! There is no other way to describe it… Brilliant crux move that took some time to unlock short-person beta for, absolutely stunning!! No words - too stoked now!!!

Awesome!

Strangely, it doesn't get any easier the more you do this climb... Lovely!

Quite hard for the grade, would be tricky to place gear with slippery feet...

Fell off trying to transition from laybacking to fingerlocks in the second half... Really enjoyed the climb though!

Great well-deserving send by Renee! Don’t think I’ll be leading this one any time soon, but I was genuinely impressed with how bomber the passive placements were on this route.

Felt MUCH better than the first attempt. Also it helped that I took more small cams with me, so didn't worry about placing them when needed. The key for me was to keep moving and avoid resting too much. Overall, this is probably my favourite frog climb now, with very cool moves and extra wide stemming. Freaking awesome!

Freaking brilliant!! Absolutely loved every move! Definitely a line I want to lead one day.

Great climb with fantastic moves, but it would be a very bold lead... will have to wait a while for this one yet.

Probably one of the more intimidating climbs I've done at Frog so far, mostly for the head game. Once past the bold start, it doesn't really let go and the wide section at the top doesn't feel as secure as it looks. Nevertheless, stoked to have ticked it!

Actually, it was by far the most epic I've had at Frog so far! With only one 4.5 cam, had to bump it up many times, going through the wide section, which is especially scary as you go out on the face to do the moves. So next time, will definitely bring more gear of that size. But, overall - amazing!

Absolutely loved the climb. Great finger crack, brilliant moves and the best part - glory ledge when you pass the crux! Splendid!

So stocked now - first Frog 20 tick, and it's freaking magnificent! Amazing line... very pumpy et endurancy, but soooo good!

Brilliant climb! Very sustained the whole way and a few tricky & pumpy sections along the whole route... I strangely enjoyed the OW section at the top, which was less dreadful than I expected. Would definitely recommend this, but would be a bold lead, imo.

Amazing moves, great line! Still lots of work before attempting on lead, though...

Felt much harder than a 16, but the guidebook says it's harder for shorter people, so... Definitely need to be comfortable moving on small gear and footwork is king for this one.

Good intellectual climb (in the sense that it really makes you think about the moves)... Great route!

The start seemed a lot harder than I remember, mostly because of the slipping feet at the start... Not sure if the heat has something to do with it (or probably just my lack of laybacking skills) but definitely wouldn't feel comfortable leading this one yet.

Great climb! Got to practice OW, which seemed super nice, lots of face features too!!

Just when you think you may be getting decent at crack climbing, this little number just won't give it to ya ;-p The wider section in the first half actually took me by surprise, I didn't realise it was wider than fists there (I have small hands). But now that I know what to expect, will definitely be paying this fellow another visit soon ;-) Oh, and will bring more #2-#3 and another #4 next time.

Great climb overall. The wide section felt better than I thought, tbh, but definitely bring a #4.

Nice. Fun. Short. Mostly a face climb with a few random hand jams.

Felt hard for a 13, but then again... grades at frog tend to surprise quite a bit ;-) Definitely bring big cams on this one (even if you're a top gun). The moves are awkward and holds quite polished...

The start felt a bit scary, mostly because it's really hard to protect - I could only place one decent black alien.. Then pretty much a huge runout until you get to the piton... so definitely need to have a strong head game to appreciate this route. Then it's fairly easy terrain. The wide stemming moves at the top are quite cool... The route wonders to the left quite a but, so probably a good idea to bring lots of extenders... I think I got a little bit off route into the moss land towards the end... Definitely worth a lap, but probably wouldn't rush to do that one again.

Super stoked to have done this one! Loved it - from start to finish. Great gear, super nice jamming the whole way up - quite sustained, but you get just enough features to take a breather here and there. The start felt tricky and perhaps less secure than the rest of the climb (just because it was quite thin). Then, as the climb widens at the top (camalot #2-#3), there's a bit of a pumpy section, but once you power through, the rest is a scramble. Definitely recommend it!

Such an amazing climb! Fingers, hands, stemming, bridging, face - the climb has it all!! Each section definitely gets you pumping and then it switches styles, just before you exhaust yourself - brilliant! Thanks again for the lead, Elissa! Oh, and take a second rope!! Coming down with a 70m was tricky, to say the least.

As I'm starting to break into the 18-19s at Frog, I felt it was a wonderful climb! The first third of the climb on Fluid, I'd say was definitely the hardest section for me with some thin hands, but you get treated to some really nice hand jams just before you get onto the ledge half-way up. Then traverse to the Epic line - felt quite scary and committing, but you get great gear just before, so feel really amazing once you step over. The second half (top part of the Epic line) feels quite cruisy afterwards. Although, not sure if my onsight is 100% legit, since seconded Epic Journey just before...

What a treat it was to try this awesome climb! Quite a technical "sequence-y" start. Thanks for the lead, Elissa!

Absolutely brilliant climb! Great combination of hand jams, finger jams (which felt quite solid) and face climbing. The hardest part for me was about 1/3 of the way up - where the crack thins out and you need to power through until you get to a nice juggy hold... I have to admit, I was almost sure I was going to take a whipper, but somehow pulled off. Another tricky section is at the top where you need to switch to a face climbing mode. Definitely my biggest stoke at frog so far!!!

Fun little climb... having to do 2 pitches to get here makes it kind of epic. Nice protection and great hand jams the whole way up. Lots of rests!

Finally got to do this climb today - I'd definitely classify this as a face climb (well, probably except for the stemming/chimney start). Very good protection the whole way up. However, I was quite happy to have borrowed some Aliens from Josh, otherwise would have been quite a bit scarier ;-) Some bomber nut placements... Oh, and I abseiled after doing Elastic Rurp just before to check out the placements, so missed the onsight, but quite happy with lead nonetheless

Personally, I felt it was harder than a 15.... but then again, I'm fairly new to Frog and trad climbing in general. Definitely hexes are a good fit for this one - I didn't have any and definitely regretted (ended up using a no. 2 camalot as passive). There's good pro the whole way up, but because many holds are less than positive, it definitely makes for a tricky head game in a couple of spots. Nice climb overall!

Amazing climbing and pro all the way! Great hand jams and rests right where you need them. Brilliant route.

The start is really nice! Super solid hand jams... but the top airy section is not great, since even if you place the pro in the chimney, you're still falling directly on the ledge... so a bit of a mind game at the end... took a me a while to find the rap chain (it's on the right side behind/down the ledge that you top out on).

Quite a unique experience leading this thing!! Loved it!

First 18 trad lead and on such an amazing climb! We've been practicing this one for a while, so feel so stocked to finally send it on lead!
