The rock is sandstone so careful bouldering on it all day as it will go through your skin. The climb starts with an obvious solid left hand pinch and a right hand crimp. The feet are relatively high to your hands so you feel and look like a frog, this the name. The crux move is when you throw to the top ridge of the boulder. From there you shift along the ridge to the right and top out. The down climb from the boulder is to the left and is pretty obvious.

Little Birdie

First move to second move kinda shimmy/dyno up slab.  Then easy climb to the top if stick right.

The boulder starts at the very right of the overhanging section of the boulder. After climbing to the left for 4 large jugs you then throw your hands up to some crimps. From there you throw to a hold not visible from the angle of your body unless you pull yourself up a fair bit. The topout from there is pretty easy. The name comes from the fact that birds like to build nests into he second gold of the boulder. I’ve probably moved around 15 empty nests from there right now, it’s nothing unusual there.
