Frog Buttress - Routes

Routes

A striking aspect of Frog is that there are some climbs done there that are so incredibly hard and bold (read: death-falls) that they will only ever get ascents once in a blue moon if they ever do.

Easier routes for the newcomer include:

Witches Cauldron 17m 12 Nice easy lift-shaft.
Electric Mud 10m 13 A relaxing corner.
Shit Heap 10m 14 This is the route for jamming practice.
Theory 25m 14 A nice and varied longer route.
Electronic Flag 40m 14 A long pitch requiring varied technique.
Mechanical Prune 18m 15 An open chimney.

It is widely considered that the high quality routes lie in the 19 to 23 grade range. Most beginners will find 'easy' routes very hard for the grade, but at the low 20s up, most routes are quite reasonable for the grade.

Famous quotes containing the word routes:

    The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.
    Terri Apter (20th century)
