16 17 | ★ Rocks Of Honey | 60m | ★★ Very Good | |||
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. |

16 15 | ★ Mettiste | 60m | ★★ Very Good | |||
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!

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.

12 | ★ Witches Cauldron Pitch 1 | 12m | Don't Bother | |||
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!

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

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