Description

The Flying Frog area is an obvious area that has been climbed on for many years. Allthough it has been climbed for years and is located right on the trail it sees little traffic. The climbs are short, steep, and sweet here. As of the time of this writing "Flying Frog Roof" led by Brandon Snyder in 2009 has still not seen a second accent!! The trad climbing here can be chllanging because of the short nature of the routes. A crash pad is recomended for padding the base when leading the roof.

The Slab Wall has great moderate top rope routes as well. Be considerate when climbing on the slab as it is right on the trail, try to keep gear and ropes clear of the trail best as you can.

Getting There

These walls are located just off of the advanced trail that leads to the summit of Sugarloaf from the parking area. Follow the trail till just before the intersetion at the base of the stairs. The walls are on the left as you come up hill. The first wall is just off trail and uphill on the left. Leave the trail right at a large boulder and head for the wall with a roof and crack that splits the middle of the face. The second is a nice slab directly on the trail before you get to the stairs. Between them there is a gully that contains a nice 15ft low angle crack that serves as a nice warmup before leading Ray's bomb-garden
