18 | ★★ Fluid / Epic Link Up - with Elissa | 30m | Frog Buttress | ★★ Very Good | Sat 16th Jun 2018 | |||
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...

18 | ★★★ Plume - with Jack Potter, Elissa | 25m | Frog Buttress | ★★★ Classic | Sun 10th Jun 2018 | |||
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!!!

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!

18 | ★★★ Iron Mandible - with Chris | 24m | Frog Buttress | Mon 22nd Apr 2019 | ||||
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!

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

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.
