| baumann_pat | great first trad lead | |
| Climbed in March 2006. This was my first time to lead a trad climb and I lead all 7 pitches. I remember the first 20m off the ground was the hardest. Can't get enough RR sandstone. | |

| Climbed it in spring 2000, 2001, and 2002. A great moderate climb with a mellow descent. | |

| Dow Williams | Frogs? yes... Date Climbed: Mar 28, 2008 | |
| Part of 4 routes/4 days during RRR, 2008. My first climb with Per from Sweden. Good times....understand the name....the day before when doing Olive Oil with my wife, the frogs were going crazy in Pine Creek....imagine the name was associated more with an experience in that creek or when more water in Black Velvet. Epinephrine was my first route back in here, so Frogland was not so exciting. Goes nice for a first climb though, although soft for the rating as Radek suggests. A decent rap rope (2008) is set up off a tree for the last descent to the ground, but you can downclimb to the east as well. If wet, might be quicker to rap. I got that chockstone pitch and that was a blast. Pitch before that was also interesting. The rest not so much. If you are looking for a good first climb in Red Rocks, this or Olive Oil might be the ticket I think. | |

| Very nice climb although they might as well rename it Cam-land. So many walked cams in the cracks, we hardly had to use our own! | |

| sergio | Frogland Date Climbed: Nov 25, 2007 | |
| Climbed with Dave, Anthony and Justin. A great and classic RR climb, I felt the 5.8 rating was good for only a few moves. IMO, the rest of the route is between 5.4 and 5.7, lots of holds and several variations available. The belay spots after the first pitch are somewhat awkward but still very doable. You can really make your own route up this buttress as there are multiple options. All in all, another great day in RR. | |

| Cheers to fossana for awesome mega runout lead work on an exciting first red rocks climb (for me). Pitch 5: very nice. | |

| fossana | nice variety Date Climbed: Oct 6, 2007 | |
| Climbed w/ Deron. A bit of routefinding, slabs, shrubbery, runouts, liebacks, and grovelly tunneling added up to great climb. | |

| eric b | frogalnd | |
| great classic redrock multipitch although i think some places were more like a 5.9 by eastern stanards. which is strange considering most climbs i did here were "soft" rated. maybey it was psychological | |
