Ascents in Scenic Rim as various tick types by PattyD

Flaring 3 sided chimney on the first pitch is an excellent, really technical climb that requires a fair bit of thought. Good gear all the way.

Headed left and linked into second pitch of what I think was Mexicana, aesthetic long crack system up the centre of the highest part of the wall.

I think this is the route we climbed, headed left at the top of Rocks Of Honey first pitch and up into the nice crack system in the centre of the highest section.

There were a couple of committing scary moves down low with OK gear. the crux might be getting over the bush at half height!

Climbed the first pitch of this with leaning hand crack, then went around the arête on the right up to tree and continued to large ledge up thin corner which might have been second pitch of Rocks Of Honey.

First pitch is great with good gear and hand jams.

Second pitch was really good as well what ever it was but scary for the second because the traverse is very hard to protect for the second.

Haha, did this years ago on my first trip to frog thinking it was Witches Cauldron. Pretty horrible as far as I can remember!

Great climbing, loved this route, again plenty of gear but also some spicy moves for a 14.

First climb at frog! Great intro, plenty of gear, not hard but still interesting.

I was looking for a nice easy warm up but this turned into an ordeal! It is not technically difficult (although that chimney is not easy for really tall guys like me) but the problem is you can't clean this yourself! You cannot lower back down the chimney without getting your rope nicely jammed in a crack. To add to my torment I got a red C4 stuck which took me half an hour to get out. The final straw was getting the rope jammed in that crack on the pull! Arrg!

Seconded first pitch, lead second. Damn that chimeny is tight!

I was looking for something to sooth my nerves after the last climb. This was easy but very dirty. There is way better climbing at Frog than this. It only sees as many assents as it does because it is in the shade all day.

Seemed a lot easier that when I first did it 6 months ago, some improvements in crack climbing technique have helped.

A #4 C4 makes this a lot easier! Glad to have ticked this after last trips micro epic. The upper crack is great, perfect fist size for me.

Murray's lead, glad about that too, the gear seemed a bit fiddly, it was fun to second though.

Awesome route, well lead by Murray. Would not want to do this without a big cam (#5 C4?) to protect that overhang at the start.

So apparently I did this all wrong the first time round... stay out of the chimney to the left!

First logged “climb” in years, not for lack of motivation unfortunately. Fun day out.
