Holy moly!! What a climb! Amazing to send it after a cool process of putting all the pieces of the puzzle together. This is by far one of the best climbs I've ever done. Relentless and unforgiving from the start. Technical and balancy sequence with awesome moves the whole way. Felt really solid and totally in the zone while climbing it. This one will always have a special place for me. And it's my first 25 on gear. Feels pretty stiff for the grade hehehe

The slander perpetuated by the anti-cave brigade must be halted! This route is one of the best climbs I have done at Frog. It's interesting, well protected (despite what the description says), and a mega cool feature. Access is a little bit of a faff, but well worth it. Not stinky, a little bit dirty, well worth it. Would gladly do again.

15 | ★★ Devil's Wart - con Caitlyn, Jack Ferguson | 27m | ★★★ Classica | ||||
Lovely cruisy, flowy and fun start to a cave and then some awkward, thrutchy (but fun) moves to get out of it!
Had a great time but the 4,5 and 6 on my harness (thanks Jack) made the squatting / stemming technique I used a bit more awkward! |
|||||||
15 | ★ Bad Company - con Caitlyn, Jack Ferguson | 20m | ★★ Molto buona | ||||
Apart from the very start, this route was super awesome!! Thoroughly enjoyed apart from the horrendous foot pump I had.
Great gear but didn’t look at the line properly and carried 2s and 3s to the top unnecessarily! Used a good amount of passive gear (including my hexes) so I was happy with that. |

Absolutely mega 4-sided chimney. The atrocious off-widthing prior really makes you earn the pitch. Had to remove all the gear from my left side in order to not get hopelessly stuck in the off-width |

Excellent, tricky thin climb
For future ref: crux sequence, use the chalked up finger locks, right hand hand jam below the mega jugs and go for the jugs with the left hand. |

Up to the scooped headwall again but got spooky on the mantle! Next time I'll go, try and take the whip if need be. That's a promise.

Had a foot slip and fall on my first shot, then a foot slip that somehow caught again on my second shot, so no fall? There's a chance my foot caught on a biner, but we'll never know. I'll just have to come back and resend it another time to be sure!

We won’t talk about my prized black tote that was overcammed required our guardian angel Simon to retrieve for us. I’m trying to convince Elaine it’s FUBAR and guilt trip her into buying me a new one (if you’re reading this it is most certainly ruined and my inevitable death will be by your hand) |

Deserves more stars, what a brilliant line!!! Had a sit bc I couldn’t figure out the crux(?) but resorted to basically a one arm pull up on a bomber jam.
Realised I went way too high before cutting right onto the other line, resulting in some colourful language and yelling my disdain for the bullshit sport that is climbing. Note to self, cut right when hands are on the big ledge, not when I’m stood on it. |

Found this pretty undeserving of the ledge fall reputation. I think most people deck because their belayer can't see. Push your belayer further out from the cliff so they have a good visual and plug the corner right up. Plenty of good gear until it seams. Crack was super pumpy!
