Frog is up there with Ben Lommond as an area that gets almost zero attention from the bolters. There has been only about 3 new routes established in the last 10 years, and these only included a handfull of bolts. SCV probaly placed more bolts last weekend than anyone has placed at Frog this decade. Its not a problem, and its highly unlikely that it will ever be a problem. It is not steep, it is not the right style. It will never be a sport crag. I talked to the rangers when i was there and they did seem to have a minor gripe with bolters - but their attention was squarly against the development at Greville rather than Frog. They were most worried about loose rock and vegetation removal than the placment of bolts. Lukicly for us the loose rock and vegetation was removed from Frog by the anti-bolting old guard (Rick White ect) in the 60s.
