Froggat

Arriving at Froggat on a fine Sunday morning the first suitable climb that wasn't occupied was Sickle Buttress Direct (VS 4c). I opted to lead this and enjoyed the final fingery moves. Paul followed without difficulty and then decided to lead Broken Crack (VS 5a) which starts with a strenuous lay back and finishes on hand jams which become increasingly insecure. While I was grappling with the jams and an upturned friend Christine arrived and she also followed it.
We were joined by Rick Graham an old acquaintance of Paul's from the north east. We took off to the right hand end of the crag where Rick led Chequers Buttress (HVS 5a) and  Paul followed while I led Christine on Jankers Crack (HS 4b).

Paul led Jankers groove (VS 4c) and Rick and Christine followed. Rick led Jankers End (VS 4b) without the initial traverse with which I seconded then Paul led it and and Christine followed.
After a bit of coaxing Christine led Green Gut (S 4a) and I followed while Rick and Paul did Valkyrie (HVS 5a) the classic climb on the pinnacle which Rick led in one run-out.
