Climbing Pics

Some climbing pictures from Frogatt Ledge, a place dear to my heart.

It's always nice to start with a scenery shot: Some tea shrubs above green pastures

Owen on Mr. Daddy Longlegs (22)


Terror from above (have I mentioned NZ is green?)


Claire with Andrew belaying, Ed working an impossible (for us mortals) boulder prob in the back


Owen belaying Inga


Inga on Zoomers (20)


Moony tearing it up on toprope

Some shelter for the belayer


Kenny working the pockets

Jules on the crux of Bring your Daughter to the Slaughter (hard 18)


Climber Jacob Gradek explaining to his belayer the moves he just did 2 seconds ago


Resting on Brontosaurus Theory (24)


The upper el cruxo, establishing a marginal pinch


On a thuggish 27 with sharp pockets

Kenny Belaying Jules at the end of the day



A couple of Jules on a 20, great climbing!

dood! that rock looks incredible! like J-tree but soft granite. What formed those features?

The rock is the Ignimbrite at Frogatt ledge; it's kinda like welded tuff. Why you get so many pockets and jugs is beyond me, but all I know is that it rules. Thanks guys! Ian, how is Bend treating you?
