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

Clay approaching the huge chockstone on Frogland

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

Traversing lower is thin but significantly easier than traversing below the roof. There is still a 5.8 move at the top of the crack to the left of the roof. You can place a good cam before doing the traverse. Extend everything.

Looking down the crux (5.8) section of Pitch 4.

John on the traverse pitch. 'X' marks the bolt before moving to the traverse (feet low, hands across the dotted line). Small pro to be found in the vertical crack to the left of the traverse.

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.

Pitch one of Frogland starts on the white flake and continues up the corner to the trees.

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

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

Larry DeAngelo on the crux traverse move on pitch 4.

Starting up Pitch 4.

Looking up at start of p5. Head to the chimney to the left and follow through the hollow made by the huge chockstone

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.

Matthew at the crux

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!

Looking up pitch 2 from pitch 1 anchors

Greta on P4. After completing the traverse it's nice to protect in the thin crack (.1-.2) out left of the overhang. This prevents the rope from getting stuck in the crack as you continue up!

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

At the start of Pitch 5, pretty damn thin and tricky to get to that first bolt!
