Climb the southeast arete of The Frog. Delicate movement.

Very small holds and sustained climbing all the way to the top. Technical and balancey crux moves between the first and second bolts, moderate 5.11 runout to the third bolt but you won't hit the ground.  Optional to place gear in the Frog crack but the hard climbing is over by then,

 First ascent 1989 and was drilled on lead with hooks.

An engaging and worthwhile adventure at the grade!  Stem up the chimney, stand on the detached boulder and clip the bolt.  Get into the jugs on the main Frog formation and pull yourself over the lip (chossy).  Climb easier terrain to the bolts.  One guidebook says set an belay in the "alcove" above the bolt, but that is pointless, rope drag can easily be mitigated by extending draws and is a non-issue.

Low angle slab at the back can be used to access the summit and set up a toprope with gear. A #7 tricam and an extra rope will get it done.

A horizontal crack that traverses left along The Frog deposits you in an alcove for easier climbing to the summit.

Beautiful climbing on huge crystals up a wonderfully featured face. This is one of the best climbs in the area for its variety of movement.

A large boulder which looks like a frog if viewed from the Echo Canyon Trail or the Main Dome. This nice, semi-secluded area is host to a few truly quality climbs. The face climbing in this spot is very steep and very fun. The original guidebook gives most everything in the area full stars.
