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 but if you ask me sunshine is the way forward. I headed to Froggatt Edge (just south of Sheffield) with a few friends for my first ascents on this local crag.

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
