I’ve only just got chance to post about last week’s trip to Froggatt Edge. Friends tell me that a crisp spring morning is better for climbing grit
The best climb of the day was Green Gut (HS 4a, “arguably the best line on the crag”), which I seconded on-sight. It was a great sustained climb up a cracked corner. Although not easy, we all made short work of it.
1 - Kicking things off
2 - Seriously, I’m actually enjoying this
3 - Topping out was the hardest part - it’s quite exposed
Have you ever climbed Green Gut? Or can you recommend another great route on Froggatt? Get in touch and use the comments box below

Try Tody’s Wall and sunset crack. Sunset crack was my first lead. it was really nice actually. just be sure you don’t try sunset slab!

Thanks for the tips Kate - sounds like I’ve got a bit to do before I catch you up

Sunset Crack was my first HS lead (some guides says its VS but thats being optimistic!) and is great route the crux is the lower move onto the slab.
My favourite on Froggat is Chequers Buttress (HVS 5a) or Three Pebble Slab (HVS 5b) which i found quite mild for the grade but absolutely amazing climb!
