Moonarie or Frog Buttress in October? 1-Oct-2004 At 8:01:13 PM dan

Message

As a Frog veteran (spent 6 months in weekends there). It is hot and sweaty through summer. It is the perfect winter Crag as you can look down on the frost covered fields while soaking up the sunshine in the way you only can in QLD. But even in the depths of winter (QLD winter the crag remains exposed all day to the sun).

It has fantastic 40 vertical crack and rediculiously thin face. But body jamming (any Jamming for that matter) is hard work when you a sweating. Make sure you visit the Dougs and Take on the bar challange (14 beers on tap and a mighty fine steak).

I would recomend being southerly (or westerly in a sunlight sense) in October (eg. not Frog). But for expierence value you cannot pass Frog up, make sure you put it in your planner instead of skiing one long weekend, well worht it (and cheap flights that time of year). I'll hook you up if ever you plan to spend a weekend there.
