The belay shown lines up with the 5.7 variation to P3, the classic line is the corner to the left of the shown belay.

I got to lead the fun, squeezy pitch. Thank you awesome party ahead for snapping some photos!

Such a cool tunnel through!!!

Obi follows up what we made the first pitch. The recommended pitch is to use the trees to the right of him, however starting from the white column with a 60m rope you can make it to another nice belay ledge higher up that takes nice 2 and 0.75 cams.

Looking down through the chockstone on Frogland, this pitch is a lot of fun, and you once past it, you can use the chockstone as natural pro!

Taking a look before heading up the arete. This pitch and the one following (chokstone pitch) were my two favorite pitches of the climb!

A pic of the really nice fourth pitch of Frogland. Mark is traversing under the giant roof, which is probably the route's crux.

Descent gully. Follow the cairnes to the left of the gully to avoid large patches of brush. Fairly straightforward

4th Pitch

Watch out for a couple of loose holds near the top of Frogland Pitch 4.
