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 motherboth 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 childs history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
